Pelle Lindbergh Memorial Trophy – Brayden Schenn

This one is was difficult to pick. Both Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier have shown flashes of brilliance, but have also had periods of sloppy play. There is no player on the Flyers roster who is having a great break out season. However, when comparing both stats and on-ice involvement, Brayden Schenn seems to have taken a step in the right direction. His points per game average is up from .55 to .59, and he is plus (+3) in plus/minus for the first time in his career. Schenn has been shuffled from the wing to center and from center to wing, but has still improved his production. His shooting percentage is up to 11.7%, a jump of 1.6% from his 10.1% average last year. Schenn, who has 77 shots through 41 games, is shooting the puck more than he ever has in his career. His production may not have made a dramatic increase, but he is getting much more involved on the ice.

Mt runner-up: Sean Couturier
