After a record-setting season the likes of which hadn’t been seen in 30 years, Roman Josi has been named a Norris Trophy finalist.
The Nashville Predators’ captain shattered a number of team records this season. His 96 points and 73 assists both stand as the most in franchise history by a considerable margin (both marks were also tops among NHL blueliners this season.) In addition, Josi also became the first defensemen since Ray Bourque in 1994 to top the 90-point plateau, and had the best scoring season by any defensemen since Phil Housley’s 97-point campaign in 1993.
