Toronto Maple Leafs’ Mitch Marner named Selke Trophy finalist, handed out to NHL’s top defensive forward
Forward Mitch Marner of the Toronto Maple Leafs is one of three finalists for the Frank J. Selke Trophy.
New Jersey Devils centre Jack Hughes, centre Anze Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings and centre Brayden Point of the Tampa Bay Lightning are up for the award. He ranked second among Toronto forwards and 13th among all NHL forwards in total short-handed time . In the 25 years ice time has been officially tracked, the only players with 99-plus points and that amount of total short-handed time in a season are Marner and Paul Kariya .
Bergeron is a Selke Trophy finalist for the 12th straight season, two years longer than the 10 consecutive top-three Hart Trophy finishes by Wayne Gretzky as the longest ever for a voted NHL Award. Bergeron’s record five Selke wins are one more than Bob Gainey of Montreal, who captured the trophy each of the first four years it was awarded.
