This past season, Bergeron put up 25 goals and 40 assists for 65 points in 73 games. He also scored seven points in seven games in the playoffs..

The thirty-six year old was awarded his fifth Frank J. Selke trophy this season, given to "the forward who demonstrates the most skill in the defensive component of the game." The five trophies are the most ever won by a player in the history of the NHL.
