The race for the Norris Trophy is heating up as the 2021-22 NHL season is coming to a close. The players who are contending are both new and old. The big Swedish defenseman on the Tampa Bay Lightning, Victor Hedman, will be a name that is mentioned. Then, there are players like Aaron Ekblad, who was unfortunately hurt in a game against the Anaheim Ducks and will be out for the remainder of the regular season. And, there’s the reigning Norris Trophy winner, Adam Fox of the New York Rangers.
While those players have excellent seasons in their own rights, two others are leading the pack in a close race.
