🏒 Norris Trophy Odds 2026: Favorite Werenski Gains Separation on Makar, Bouchard
Zach Weresnki is the Norris Trophy odds favorite, but will the Columbus Blue Jackets blueliner win the award if his team doesn't make the playoffs?
Adam Fox is the only defenseman to win the award without helping his team secure a playoff spot, so it will be interesting to see what voters decide to do with Werenski if the Blue Jackets fall short of their goal. Cale Makar and Evan Bouchard are waiting in the wings, both lurking as the second and third-most likely winners, respectively.
