One Bruins dman is in the thick of the Norris Trophy race

The Boston Bruins have arguably the best defensive core in the NHL this season, led by three, top-two defensemen in Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm and Dmitry Orlov.

The Athletic�s Dom Luszczyszyn recently released who should win the award for best defenseman in the league, with at least five players that could win it.

''Lindholm's season started off with a bang as he held the fort while Charlie McAvoy was sidelined. That allowed him to put up some point totals he otherwise might not have been able to � enough to warrant consideration for the Norris. He's on pace for 54 points, not far off the amount Drew Doughty had in 2015-16 when he won the Norris over Karlsson.''
