For the fifth time in his career Connor Hellebuyck has been named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy as top goalie in the NHL. From the NHL release: Hellebuyck, the 2020 and 2024 Vezina Trophy winner, finished first among qualified NHL goaltenders in wins (47), shutouts (8), goals-against average (2.00), and games played (T-1st: 60). The Commerce, Michigan native also ranked in the league's top five in save percentage (2nd: .925), saves (4th: 1,539) and minutes (2nd: 3,741). Hellebuyck allowed one goal or fewer in 26 starts. He also had a personal eight-game winning streak from Jan. 22-Feb. 26/25 and an 11-game streak (9-0-2) from Dec. 5/24-Jan. 2/25. Hellebuyck, 31, backstopped the Jets to the Presidents' Trophy for most points in the NHL and he won the Williams Jennings Trophy as the goaltender (min. 25 GP) on the team allowing the fewest regular season goals. He had 47 victories, nine more than the closest competition, and a number topped by just two goaltenders in NHL history: Martin Brodeur (48 in 2006-07) and Braden Holtby (48 in 2015-16). He is seen as the favourite to win his third one.
