John Carlson named a finalist for Norris Trophy
The NHL announced that John Carlson is a finalist for the Norris Trophy on Monday. The Norris Trophy is “awarded annually to the National Hockey League’s top defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position.” Nashville’s Roman Josi and Tampa’s Victor Hedman were also voted into the top three.
According to Mike Vogel, Carlson is only the fifth Capitals player in team history to be voted a finalist for the Norris Trophy and could join Rod Langway as the only other player in franchise player to win it (1983 and 1984). Most recently, Mike Green was named a finalist in back-to-back years (2009, 2010), but did not win either season.
