Florida Panthers captain Sasha Barkov wins 2024 Frank J. Selke ...
This is the second time Barkov has won the Selke Trophy, also taking it home in 2021
thehockeynews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reports.
- Finalists for the 2025 Frank J. Selke Trophy were announced in May 2025, with Sasha Barkov (Florida Panthers) among the finalists and Anthony Cirelli (Tampa Bay) also named from Florida; the winner was to be revealed at the NHL Awards in Los Angeles on June 27, 2025.[1][2]
- Barkov had won the Selke previously (2020-21) and was a strong favorite for a back-to-back, though finalists and outcomes have varied by season.[5][1]
- For historical context, the Selke Trophy honors the NHL forward judged best at defense and overall two-way play, with winners announced annually at the NHL Awards ceremony.[6][5]
