Today, the National Hockey League revealed its nominations for various individual awards, including the Vézina Trophy (awarded to the NHL's goaltender of the year) and the Norris Trophy (awarded to the NHL's defenseman of the year).
We immediately notice the absence of the Carolina Hurricanes' goalie, Frederik Andersen. A big surprise, according to many!
For the 2021-22 NHL Defenseman of the Year, no surprises here: Josi, Makar and Hedman are the finalists.
