Preseason Player Spotlights

Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets)

The three-time Vezina winner and 2024-25 Hart Trophy recipient endured a difficult 2025-26 campaign, posting a 23-23-11 record with a 2.86 GAA and .895 save percentage in 57 games. Injuries (including knee surgery) and a weaker Jets team contributed to the downturn, but Hellebuyck remains one of the most accomplished and durable goaltenders of his generation. At 33, he still has the pedigree and track record to bounce back strongly if the situation around him stabilizes.

Logan Thompson (Washington Capitals)

Thompson solidified himself as a legitimate No. 1 in his second full season with Washington, going 31-21-6 with a 2.44 GAA, .912 save percentage, and four shutouts in 58 games. The 29-year-old right-catching netminder has shown consistency and the ability to handle a heavy workload while helping the Capitals remain competitive. His combination of size, athleticism, and steady numbers make him a rising contender for the Vezina conversation.

Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay Lightning)

The reigning Vezina Trophy winner delivered another strong season in 2025-26, leading the NHL with 39 wins while posting a 2.31 GAA and .912 save percentage in 58 games. Vasilevskiy continues to be the backbone of a Lightning team that regularly contends, blending elite athleticism with experience as a two-time Stanley Cup champion. At 32, he remains one of the most reliable and high-upside goalies in the league.

Ilya Sorokin (New York Islanders)

Sorokin put together another solid year as the Islanders’ workhorse, finishing 29-24-2 with a 2.68 GAA, .906 save percentage, and a league-leading seven shutouts in 55 games. The 31-year-old Russian continues to excel in high-danger situations and has established himself as one of the more consistent starting goalies in the Eastern Conference. His ability to steal games for a mid-tier Islanders club keeps him firmly in the Vezina discussion.

Igor Shesterkin (New York Rangers)

Shesterkin rebounded from a tougher 2024-25 to post a 25-19-6 record with a 2.50 GAA and .912 save percentage in 51 games. The former Vezina winner still possesses elite talent and the ability to make spectacular saves, though the Rangers’ overall performance has been uneven. At 30, Shesterkin remains a high-ceiling option who can dominate when the team in front of him is playing well.

Jeremy Swayman (Boston Bruins)

Swayman set a career high with 31 wins in 2025-26, finishing 31-18-4 with a 2.71 GAA and .908 save percentage in 55 games. The 27-year-old has grown into a reliable starter for Boston and earned his first Vezina nomination. With improving consistency and a strong supporting cast, Swayman is positioned as one of the younger goalies capable of making a serious push for the award.

Vezina Trophy Winner (2025-26)

Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay Lightning) won the 2025-26 Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender.

It was the second Vezina of his career (first since 2018-19) and came in his sixth season as a finalist. Vasilevskiy received 17 first-place votes and 114 points from the league’s general managers, comfortably ahead of runners-up Ilya Sorokin (51 points) and Jeremy Swayman (46 points).

In 58 starts he posted a league-leading 39 wins (39-15-4) with a 2.31 goals-against average, .912 save percentage, and two shutouts. He guided the Lightning to their ninth consecutive playoff appearance and put together an 18-game point streak (17-0-1) from mid-December through late February. The win cemented Vasilevskiy’s place among the elite active goaltenders and made him one of only a handful of netminders with multiple Vezinas and multiple Stanley Cups.

Vezina Trophy

The Vezina Trophy is presented annually to the National Hockey League goaltender who is adjudged to be the best at his position. The winner is determined by a poll taken at the conclusion of the regular season, submitted by the 32 NHL General Managers. This award is historically dominated by netminders who excel in core statistics, typically requiring them to rank among the league’s leaders in wins, save percentage, and goals-against average, while also playing a high volume of games. The selection process heavily weighs these traditional metrics alongside advanced stats like Goals Saved Above Average (GSAA) and the overall success of the player’s team.
