Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin, Colorado Avalanche star Cale Makar and Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski were named Norris Trophy finalists.

Makar, a two-time winner, had 79 points in 75 games and helped Colorado win the Presidents' Trophy and Jennings Trophy while logging big minutes; Werenski finished with 81 points in 75 games, led defensemen in shots, and is trying to become the first Blue Jackets player to win the award. The winner will be announced later.
