NHL Awards: Bruins Through the Years

BostonBruins.com- Patrice Bergeron can pretty much proclaim himself an honorary citizen of Las Vegas these days. His presence in the city during the third week of June has become a fait accompli.
The pivot will be making his seventh consecutive visit to Sin City as a finalist for the Selke Trophy, which he has won a record-tying four times as the league's best defensive forward. Another victory this season and he would move ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Gainey for the most Selke wins in NHL history.

Bergeron will have some company this time around, as Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy is a finalist for the Jack Adams Award, presented to the NHL's Coach of the Year. Claude Julien is the last Bruins coach to take home the honor, having captured the award in 2009.
With the 2018 NHL Awards set for June 20 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, we're taking a look back at all of the Bruins' trophy winners.
