Los Angeles Kings forward Anze Kopitar won the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward for the second time in three years Wednesday night.
He played a major part in the Kings' league-best penalty kill and led all Los Angeles forwards in shorthanded ice time per game, while leading all NHL forwards in overall ice time per contest and posting career highs in goals (35), assists (57), and points (92).
The star Slovenian center last took home the honor in 2016.
