Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar is one of the three finalists for the James Norris Memorial Trophy, which goes to the National Hockey League’s top all-around defenseman, the league announced Monday.
Makar, Victor Hedman of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Roman Josi of the Nashville Predators were named the three finalists for the Norris Trophy – an award voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association at the end of the regular season.
In his third season, Makar, 23, is widely seen as one of the top young players in the NHL. He won the Calder Trophy in his rookie season as the league’s top rookie. He and Josi have squared off in this first-round series, which the Avs currently lead 3-0 ahead of Monday night’s Game 4. Josi finished the season as the highest-scoring defenseman in 29 years in the NHL and finished with 96 points in the regular season.
