NEW YORK, N.Y. - Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins, Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators and Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators are the finalists for the Norris Trophy for the NHL's best defenceman.
The winner will be announced June 20 at the NHL awards ceremony in Las Vegas.
Chara, who won the Norris in 2009, had a career-high 52 points (12 goals, 40 assists) for Boston.
Karlsson led all defencemen in scoring with 78 points (19 goals, 59 assists). He finished with 25 points more than any other defenceman — the widest winning margin since Pittsburgh's Paul Coffey topped the field by 38 points in 1988-89.
Weber, the Nashville captain, was sixth in scoring among defencemen with 49 points (19 goals, 30 assists).
