Connor Hellebuyck, Darcy Kuemper, and Andrei Vasilevskiy have been named finalists for the prestigious Vezina Trophy, recognizing the best goaltender in the NHL. Hellebuyck is aiming for a repeat win after an exceptional season with a 47-12-3 record and impressive statistics. He has gained support beyond the Vezina discussion, with teammates suggesting he deserves Hart Trophy consideration. Meanwhile, Vasilevskiy returns as a finalist for the first time since 2019-20 after previously winning the trophy. The award celebrates outstanding performances in a key position in hockey.
"We think he should be in the Hart Trophy conversation," Lowry told NHL.com in March. "It's very rare you see a goalie there, not since Carey Price (in 2015), and I think he should be there."
Hellebuyck...claimed the 2024 Vezina Trophy...after a 37-19-4 season with a 2.39 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .921 save percentage (SV%).
The two-time Vezina winner looks to become the first repeat trophy winner since the New Jersey Devils' Martin Brodeur in 2006-07 and 2007-08.
