Overview
- The NHL named Rasmus Dahlin, Cale Makar and Zach Werenski as Norris finalists Thursday, following Wednesday’s Selke slate of Anthony Cirelli, Brock Nelson and Nick Suzuki.
- These shortlists came from Professional Hockey Writers Association ballots filed after the regular season to honor the top defensive forward (Selke) and the top all-around defenseman (Norris).
- Makar’s nomination is his sixth in a row in his first seven seasons, a streak matched only by Bobby Orr.
- The Edmonton Oilers posted a video Thursday calling out voters after Evan Bouchard, the league’s top-scoring defenseman with 95 points, was left off the Norris list.
- Multiple outlets label Suzuki the Selke favorite, and the NHL will announce the award winners in June during the playoffs.
