The best blueliner on the defending Stanley Cup Champions, Keith led all defensemen in assists (55) and finished second to Karlsson in points with 61.  He also had a +22 rating on one of the best pairings in the league with partner Brent Seabrook.

He won the Norris Trophy in 2010, the only other time he was nominated for the award.
