Bergeron (ankle) is once again a finalist for the Selke Trophy, awarded to the league's top defensive forward, CSNNE.com reports.

Analysis:

We're guessing Bergeron's eight-year, $55 million contract has allowed him to buy a big enough cabinet to fit all the hardware he's earned over the years. He's already won the Selke Trophy three times -- including last year -- and has been a finalist in each of the past five seasons. In order to put yet another award on the mantel, he'll need to beat out Ryan Kesler of the Ducks and Anze Kopitar of the Kings.
