Connor Hellebuyck Wins Vezina Trophy
Digest more
The last time an NHL goaltender won the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league’s most valuable player and the Vezina Trophy as its top netminder in the same season, the year was 2015. And the winner that season was likely Hockey Hall-of-Famer Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens.
The first goaltender voted a Hart Trophy finalist since Igor Shesterkin in 2021-22 (3rd w/ NYR), Hellebuyck is the fourth netminder in the expansion era (since 1967-68) to win the award, following Dominik Hasek (1996-97 and 1997-98 w/ BUF), Jose Theodore (2001-02 w/ MTL) and Carey Price (2014-15 w/ MTL).
