DETROIT -- To no ones surprise, Patrice Bergeron, Jonathan Toews and Anze Kopitar are the finalists for the Selke Trophy, given to the NHLs best defensive forward. Bergeron of the Boston Bruins and Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks have each finished in the top three in voting for the past three seasons, and Kopitar of the Los Angeles Kings was fourth last season. For Bergeron its an honour that underscores how much hes respected around the game for his two-way play. "I think youre always trying to work on things and I feel like the complete game is something that I take a lot of pride in and Im trying to work on," the Quebec City native said Thursday. "I think that this year I mean obviously I got the bounces offensively, but that being said it doesnt mean that I let the defensive part of the game out." Bergeron, who narrowly lost the 2013 Selke to Toews after winning it in 2012, has to be considered the favourite. His 1,015 faceoff victories were the most by any NHL player in the past seven seasons. "It makes you proud because you know hes well deserving of that, he has been for years now," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Always up there in plus-minus, always plays against top players, and hes got 30 goals this year playing against top lines. I cant find a better candidate than him. Certainly deserves the nomination. Well see how it goes, but in our regards hes been the best." Toews, who thrived in a shutdown role as perhaps Team Canadas best forward at the Sochi Olympics, led the Blackhawks in ice time and won 57.2 per cent of his faceoffs. Kopitar played the most short-handed minutes of the leagues top 30 scorers and keyed the Kings top-rated defensive effort. Hes the first player in Los Angeles franchise history to be a Selke finalist. Detroits Pavel Datsyuk, a finalist last year and the winner in 2008, 2009 and 2010, missed a big chunk of this season with a knee injury.

Kane has often proved troublesome for the Oilers and will seek to lead the Blackhawks to a fifth consecutive victory in the series tonight. Kanes tiebreaking goal in the third period of Thursdays 4-3 win over Calgary was his third in as many games, and he assisted on another in the opener to a six-game trek for Chicago (11-7-1). The Blackhawks star winger has six points in his last three games after totaling four goals and six assists in his first 16. I feel like I can make plays on the ice. Obviously, when youre moving well and trying to make those plays, things are going to develop, Kane said. Im playing with two very skilled players right now with (Kris Versteeg) and (Brad Richards) and theyre finding me in good areas and good spots. It seems like weve had a couple good games in a row. Kane has also had some fine performances against Edmonton (6-12-2), totaling nine goals and 19 assists in his last 17 meetings. Kanes 28 points against the Oilers since the start of the 2009-10 season are his second-most against any opponent, trailing only his 29 against Dallas. He has seven goals and 14 assists during a 12-game point streak versus the Oilers. The Blackhawks have totaled 19 goals during their four-game win streak in the series and have won eight of 10 in Edmonton. The Oilers are 0-4-1 in their last five contests and 0-5-1 at home since Oct. 29. Edmonton was outshot 19-8 in a pivotal second period Friday in a 2-0 loss to visiting New Jersey. The Devils scored both of their goals in a 4:28 span. The problem with our group right now is that we cant seem to get the full 60 (minutes), and you need the full 60, coach Dallas Eakins said.dddddddddddd The Oilers will seek to avoid a season-high sixth consecutive defeat and their first seven-game home losing streak since Jan. 18-Feb. 13, 2011. Theyve been outscored 9-2 in Chicagos past two visits. Andrew Shaw had two goals and an assist in the Blackhawks last game in Edmonton, a 5-1 win Nov. 25, but is expected to miss his second straight contest because of an upper-body injury. Shaw, who could be replaced by 2011 first-round draft pick Phillip Danault, joins Patrick Sharp (lower body) and Trevor van Riemsdyk (leg) among the missing Blackhawks. Edmontons top-line winger Benoit Pouliot is out indefinitely after breaking his foot while blocking a shot Friday. I dont know how long hell be out for, but usually that (sidelines a player) for a while, Eakins said. Antti Raanta is expected to make his first NHL start since Oct. 25 and his second against Edmonton. Raanta, 1-2-0 with a 2.03 goals-against average in three games this season, got enough support for a 5-3 home win over the Oilers on Jan. 12. With Viktor Fasth starting the first game of the back-to-back set, Edmonton could turn to Ben Scrivens in this game. Scrivens, 0-5-1 with a 3.34 GAA in his last seven appearances, faced 40 shots in his only matchup against Chicago, a 3-1 road loss for Los Angeles on Dec. 15. Notes: Dallas Eakins confirmed Saturday morning that defenceman Nikita Nikitin is a healthy scratch for tonights game.
