There’s a pretty good chance that Mark Giordano will win the James Norris Memorial Trophy this season, making him the National Hockey League’s best defenseman for the 2018-19 campaign. Given that, it probably goes without saying that he had a good season. But considering his age, it’s really impressive just how well his season went.
2018-19 season summary
Most NHLers don’t improve after age 30. Heck, most of them don’t stay as good as they were after age 30. But Giordano is some kind of freak of nature and, at age 35, he had his best season statistically in his 13-year NHL career.
