Rasmus Dahlin of the Buffalo Sabres is a finalist for the James Norris Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL’s best defenseman.
The winner is determined by a ballot among members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association at the conclusion of the regular season. The top three vote-getters from that ballot are designated as finalists: Dahlin, Colorado’s Cale Makar, and Columbus’ Zach Werenski.
Dahlin would become the first Norris Trophy winner in Sabres history. He joins Jim Schoenfeld (1979-80) as the franchise’s only finalists for the award.
