Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins becomes the first defenseman to score 100 points in a season. The achievement comes one year after teammate Phil Esposito became the first player to reach the century mark in a season. Orr would finish the season with 33 goals and 87 assists, as he won his third straight Norris Trophy and the first of three straight Hart Trophies.
