When the Professional Hockey Writers Association (PHWA) announced the winners of their mid season awards around the NHL, Sean Couturier was the lone name in contention for any award.
The Frank J. Selke Trophy is an annual award given “to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game.” When hearing that description, who comes to mind faster than Sean Couturier?
Flashing back to 2018, Sean Couturier was named a finalist for the Selke after his stellar 2017-2018 campaign. During this season, Couturier was third in the League with a plus-34 rating.
