Norris scored a goal on two shots while recording a blocked shot and two PIM during Tuesday's 5-1 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.
Norris didn't appear in Monday's preseason opener against the Penguins but made an impact in the second half of the back-to-back set. The 27-year-old is coming off an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, recording 13 goals, 21 assists, 28 PIM, 27 blocked shots and 24 hits in 44 regular-season appearances. He should continue to play a prominent role if he can remain healthy this season.
