Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman is one of three finalists for General Manager of the Year, the league announced Friday.
Yzerman, 50, joins the Rangers Glen Sather and the Ducks’ Bob Murray. Yzerman in his sixth year with Tampa Bay, was also a finalist in 2010-11, the last time the Lightning reached the Eastern Conference Final. This season, the Lightning set franchise record for wins (50) and points (108).
The award, voted on by the league’s general managers and some selected media members, will be announced in Las Vegas June 23.
