St. Louis Blues head coach Craig Berube, Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper, and New York Islanders head coach Barry Trotz were named the finalists for the Jack Adams Award.

The NHL announced the finalists for the Jack Adams Award, which goes to the "coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success", on Friday. The winner will be announced June 19 at the NHL Awards.

Berube took over for Mike Yeo as Blues head coach early in the season. The Blues were 7-9-3 when Berube took over before he led them to a 38-19-6 record in the final 63 games of the season and into a playoff spot.

Cooper led the Lightning to a Presidents' Trophy with an NHL-best record of 62-16-4.

And Trotz took over the Islanders this past off-season and led them to a 48-27-7 record and playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
