Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar was named a Norris Trophy finalist for the sixth consecutive season on Thursday.
A two-time winner of the award (2021-22, 2024-25), Makar is joined by Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin and Columbus Blue Jackets star Zach Werenski as finalists.
The award is presented annually to the defenseman voted the best at his position by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. A winner will be announced at a later date.
Makar, 27, totaled 79 points (20 goals, 59 assists) and a plus-32 rating in 75 games this season.
Dahlin, 26, recorded a career-high 74 points (19 goals, 55 assists) and a plus-18 rating in 77 games this season. He is a first-time finalist and would be the first member of the Sabres to win the award.
