Seattle Kraken center Matty Beniers, Buffalo Sabres defenseman Owen Power and Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner are the finalists for the Calder Memorial Trophy, the NHL announced Wednesday.
The award which goes to the NHL's best rookie, will be revealed June 26 during the NHL Awards at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Beniers, Power and Skinner were selected as they were the top three vote-getters as designated by the members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association who vote on the Calder, among other accolades.
Beniers debuted last season and scored nine points in 10 games with the Kraken after leaving the University of Michigan following his sophomore season.
