If you’re a fan of elite defenders, boy is this the series for you. The 2023-24 Norris Trophy race can be basically summed up by this series: the Pacific champion Vancouver Canucks are led by captain and Norris frontrunner Quinn Hughes, who took an early lead for the award and really never looked back. On the other side are your Nashville Predators and their captain Roman Josi–both took some time to get started, but after the calendar turned, both the team and captain went on a tear that rocketed the Preds up the standings. And while the PHWA has already submitted their ballots for the end-of-season awards, getting to see Hughes and Josi face off will be a delight for those who love watching elite blueliners in their prime.
