Burns, Doughty, Karlsson named Norris finalists
Trophy winner will be announced during 2016 NHL Awards on June 22
Karlsson is the first NHL defenseman to score at least 82 in a season
since Brian Leetch of the New York Rangers (85 points) and Ray Bourque
of the Boston Bruins (82 points) in 1995-96. Karlsson played all 82
regular-season games for a third straight season and led the NHL in ice
time (2,375:55), even-strength ice time (1,885:26), and average ice time
(28:58), all NHL career highs.
Doughty,
who drove puck possession with a League-leading 58.89 Corsi-for
percentage in 5-on-5 situations, ranked third in the League in average
ice time (28:01) to help lead the Kings to a third consecutive top-five
finish in team defense with a 2.34 goals-against average. His 14 goals
and 51 points were his most since the 2009-10 season (16 goals, 59
points), and his plus-24 rating was an NHL career high. The Kings took
537 more shots than they allowed with Doughty on the ice at 5-on-5.
Doughty, a three-time finalist, was third in voting in 2009-10 and
second in 2014-15.
