Nicklas Lidstrom won the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman seven times from 2000-11, including two streaks of three straight wins. Not since the second of the three-win streaks (2005-08) has a player won the award in consecutive seasons.
Cale Makar is attempting to become the first back-to-back winner in 15 years and just the second back-to-back winner in more than 30 years. And the Colorado Avalanche’s 24-year-old defenseman currently sits among the NHL betting favorites to do so.
Here are updated Norris Trophy odds and public betting insights (as of Nov. 17):
