Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli, 28, has been nominated for the Frank J. Selke Trophy for the second consecutive year, recognizing his excellence in defensive play. Cirelli finished the regular season with a career-best plus-38 rating, ranking fourth in the NHL, and played a key role in Tampa Bay's strong performance, contributing to a plus-57 goal differential. This season, he was instrumental in the Lightning's third-ranked penalty kill at 82.6%. Alongside Cirelli, Brock Nelson, 34, of the Colorado Avalanche and Nick Suzuki, 26, of the Montreal Canadiens are also finalists. Nelson, a first-time nominee, helped Colorado achieve the fewest goals against in the league, while Suzuki led Montreal in multiple categories, contributing to the team’s highest point total since 2014-15. The Selke Trophy winner will be announced in June.
