Top defensemen in the NHL are vying for the prestigious James Norris Memorial Trophy, and three of the league's most talented blue-liners have been named as finalists. Colorado Avalanche star Cale Makar, Buffalo Sabres sensation Owen Dahlin, and Columbus Blue Jackets stalwart Zach Werenski are in the running for the award, which recognizes the league's most outstanding defenseman. Makar, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, has been a force on the ice, while Dahlin has been a key contributor to the Sabres' resurgence. Werenski, meanwhile, has been a steady presence on the Blue Jackets' backline, helping to anchor the team's defense. The winner will be announced at the NHL Awards, set to take place in June.
