Boston Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron won the Selke Trophy as best defensive forward.

Columbus' Sergei Bobrovsky has won his second Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goalie.

And while they did not win, Ottawa defenceman Erik Karlsson finished second in Norris Trophy voting, while Toronto's Mike Babcock and Edmonton's Todd McLellan were second and third, respectively, for the Jack Adams Award.

Craig Anderson won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for Dedication, Sportsmanship, and Dedication. Anderson was forced to take several leaves of absence from Ottawa this season while his wife, Nicholle, battled cancer.

Lady Byng Trophy: 'Johnny Hockey" can now adopt the nickname "Johnny Gentleman, ' should he so choose. Bobrovsky wasn't just good, he was excellent, leading the league with a.931 save percentage, 2.06 goals-against average and posting 7 shutouts with a 41-17-5 record as the Blue Jackets turned in their best regular season performance in franchise history. Bobrovsky, the first Russian to win the award twice, and Tortorella played major roles in the Blue Jackets' revival for the best season in franchise history.

Clearly, Bergeron's teammates were pumped for him as Brad Marchand tweeted out a little line love after the awards were announced.

His fellow players voted for him to receive that honor, and he beat out Brent Burns and Sidney Crosby for the award. Burns doesn't think offensive numbers alone determine the Norris victor. That being said, it looks like there will be some new deke mechanics and flashier animations for offensive players; so maybe gameplay will get a bit of an overhaul this year.

Matthews led all rookies with 40 goals and 69 points this season. Many in the audience at Las Vegas's T-Mobile Arena shed tears during a video featuring Bickell and his wife, Amanda, while the National Hockey League and its players association made a $20,000 joint contribution to their charitable foundation, which trains rescued pit bulls to help abused children and those with MS. Seeing the teams in California kind of encouraged kids growing up to pick up the stick and start playing.

The hockey world will know the results of general manager George McPhee's machinations over the next few days, although numerous reports already have leaked out through the teams giving up players to the Golden Knights.

Additional features include the new Expansion Draft coming to Franchise Mode, Hockey Ultimate Team™ Solo Challenges, and a new Hockey Training Camp created to ensure players have immediate success on the ice, and much more.
