Pittsburgh Penguins' Defensemen Have Solid Odds to Win the Norris Trophy By Nick Horwat via thehockeynews.com,

Key points:

  • Pittsburgh Penguins defensemen have solid odds to win the Norris Trophy
  • Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang are top contenders for the award
  • A strong season could bring the second ever Norris Trophy to the Penguins organization

Penguins defenseman, Erik Karlsson, has decent odds to win the Norris Trophy again this season. Despite a poor defensive output in the previous season, Karlsson’s impressive offensive performance led him to win the award. Kris Letang, another Penguins defenseman, also has a chance to win his first Norris Trophy, although the odds are not in his favor. A strong season from either player could bring the second ever Norris Trophy to the Penguins organization.
