Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks took home the Frank J. Selke trophy as the league's best defensive forward on Friday.
Toews headed a Chicago team that led the league in goals against, and finished second in goals scored. The 25-year-old Winnipeg native, who was chosen third overall in the 2006 draft, posted 23 goals and 25 assists along with a plus-28 rating in 47 games this season, his sixth in the NHL.
Toews joins Dirk Graham (1991) and Troy Murray (1986) as the only Blackhawks to win the Selke.
