Josh Morrissey misses Norris Trophy voting for first time

Summary

Josh Morrissey is not included in the Norris Trophy voting for the first time in years. Despite posting a career-high average of 24:43 ice time per game and leading the Winnipeg Jets in blocked shots with 118, his offensive numbers dropped to 55 points this season due to injuries and fatigue from the Olympics. Morrissey had consistently been recognized among the NHL's elite defensemen prior to this season. Zach Werenski won the Norris Trophy, with Cale Makar finishing second. The omission from the voting has sparked discussions about Morrissey's contributions and potential for next season.
