  • This page archives the NHL Vezina Trophy (top goaltender) odds for past seasons, including opening prices, mid-season swings, and closing numbers
  • Linus Ullmark won the 2023 Vezina after leading the NHL in wins, goals-against average, and save percentage
  • Want the current Vezina Trophy odds instead? Head over to the live futures board.

The Vezina goes to the NHL’s top goaltender, and the market can swing in a hurry. A netminder on a hot team rockets up the board, an injury or a cold month sinks a favorite, and the voters don’t always reward the same things the bettors do.

This page is the record. Each season we have on file is below, with the chart showing how the market moved, a recap of how the winner got there, dated movement notes, and the closing odds.

2023 Vezina Trophy Odds

Sports Betting Dime

Linus Ullmark had the kind of season goalies dream about. The Bruins netminder led the entire NHL in wins, goals-against average, and save percentage, going 40-6-1 with a 1.89 GAA and a .938 mark behind a record-setting Boston team.

He even got his name on the scoresheet, flipping a puck the length of the ice into an empty Vancouver net. Ullmark ran away with his first Vezina, closing at -1100.

The chart and notes below show how the 2023 market moved.

2023 Closing Vezina Trophy Odds

Goalie Odds
Linus Ullmark (Bruins) -1100
Ilya Sorokin (Islanders) +900
Connor Hellebuyck (Jets) +1600
Filip Gustavsson (Wild) +5000
Andrei Vasilevskiy (Lightning) +5000
Juuse Saros (Predators) +8000

Odds as of April 1 at consensus sportsbooks.

How Ullmark pulled away:

  • [April 1] Ullmark had virtually locked it up at -1100 (91.7%). Minnesota’s Filip Gustavsson (+5000) entered the top 10 on a strong stretch.
  • [March 1] Ullmark’s odds shortened to -350, a 78% implied probability. He even scored an empty-net goal against the Canucks to cap a standout regular season.
  • [February] Ullmark pulled away at -150, the season’s first odds-on favorite. Ilya Sorokin faded to +600 after an underwhelming January.
  • [January 2] Ullmark became the sole favorite at +225. Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin was his main competition at +280.
  • [December 5] Ullmark cracked the top five after a remarkable start, posting a 14-1-0 record with an NHL-leading .936 save percentage in his first 17 games.
  • [July 18] Igor Shesterkin opened as the favorite to repeat. Andrei Vasilevskiy (+500) was the only other goalie within range.

2022 Vezina Trophy Odds

Sports Betting Dime

Igor Shesterkin didn’t just win the Vezina, he forced his way into the MVP conversation. The Rangers netminder took the 2022 award in a landslide after a season that had him at a 1.95 GAA and a .941 save percentage at one February checkpoint.

Andrei Vasilevskiy opened as the favorite and Jack Campbell led the market in January, but once Shesterkin caught fire there was no slowing him down.

Here’s how the 2022 Vezina odds moved across the season.

2022 Closing Vezina Trophy Odds

Goalie Odds
Igor Shesterkin (Rangers) -1500
Jacob Markstrom (Flames) +800
Frederik Andersen (Hurricanes) +800
Andrei Vasilevskiy (Lightning) +4000
Juuse Saros (Predators) +6000
Darcy Kuemper (Avalanche) +6000

How Shesterkin took over the race:

  • [May 11] Igor Shesterkin, Jacob Markstrom, and Juuse Saros were named finalists. Shesterkin closed the regular season a far-and-away favorite at -1500, with Markstrom (+800) and Saros (+6000) well behind.
  • [April 20] At -1750, the Vezina was Shesterkin’s to lose.
  • [March 24] Shesterkin’s odds kept shortening, moving from -120 to -400 since the end of February.
  • [February 25] After another stellar month, Shesterkin was the odds-on favorite, sitting on a 1.95 GAA, a .941 save percentage, and three shutouts.
  • [February 7] Shesterkin took over the race, improving from +525 to +188 to become the favorite.
  • [January 13] Jack Campbell was favored with Shesterkin nipping at his heels. Opening favorite Andrei Vasilevskiy had slipped to the third choice at +600.
  • [December 21] With Toronto red-hot, Jack Campbell’s odds shortened from +1200 to +625.
  • [November 29] Vasilevskiy remained the favorite, but Jacob Markstrom climbed from +3500 to +1000.
  • [October 22] Shesterkin’s strong play dropped his odds from +2100 to +1200.
  • [October 5] Newly acquired by the Avalanche, Darcy Kuemper saw his odds shorten from +3500 to +1000.
  • [July 14] Andrei Vasilevskiy opened as the favorite to win his second Vezina. Defending winner Marc-Andre Fleury was listed at +800.

2021 Vezina Trophy Odds

Sports Betting Dime

It took until the back nine of a hall-of-fame career, but Marc-Andre Fleury finally got his Vezina. The Vegas veteran claimed the first of his career in 2021, outlasting a three-goalie race that ran through Andrei Vasilevskiy and Philipp Grubauer.

Vasilevskiy actually closed as the betting favorite at -170, but the voters went with Fleury, who took over the Vegas crease from an injured Robin Lehner and ran with it.

Below is how the 2021 Vezina race played out.

2021 Closing Vezina Trophy Odds

Goalie Odds
Andrei Vasilevskiy (Lightning) -170
Marc-Andre Fleury (Golden Knights) +200
Philipp Grubauer (Avalanche) +400
Connor Hellebuyck (Jets) +500
Semyon Varlamov (Islanders) +2000
Igor Shesterkin (Rangers) +3400
Jack Campbell (Maple Leafs) +4800
Cam Talbot (Wild) +6000
Juuse Saros (Predators) +6000

Odds as of April 21 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

How the 2021 Vezina race developed:

  • [June 30] Marc-Andre Fleury won the 2021 Vezina, the first of his career. His odds had opened at +1500.
  • [June 1] Andrei Vasilevskiy, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Philipp Grubauer were named finalists. With no new odds posted since late April, Vasilevskiy remained the odds-on favorite.
  • [April 21] Grubauer’s odds took a hit after he landed on Colorado’s COVID-19 list, moving from +238 to +325. Vasilevskiy led at -185.
  • [April 9] Grubauer kept the race alive, shortening from +1000 to +238 over a week as Colorado surged behind his play.
  • [March 29] Vasilevskiy stayed dominant, holding a 1.99 GAA, a .930 save percentage, and a 21-5-1 record to become the odds-on favorite.
  • [March 8] Frederik Andersen made a case, shortening from +4400 to +2500 to sneak into the top 10.
  • [February 23] Fleury’s odds shortened from +2600 to +1500 after taking over for the injured Robin Lehner, with two shutouts in his last four starts.
  • [February 12] Braden Holtby’s odds lengthened from +1750 to +2600 as the Canucks struggled.
  • [February 1] Carter Hart shortened from +967 to +650 after two wins and a .950 save percentage. Tuukka Rask drifted from +983 to +1100 following a few shaky starts.
  • [December 30] With under a month to the season, Vasilevskiy pulled away as the favorite at +583.
  • [November 16] Connor Hellebuyck, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Tuukka Rask opened as co-favorites at +500.

2020 Vezina Trophy Odds

Sports Betting Dime

The market favorite didn’t win this one either. Tuukka Rask sat atop the 2020 Vezina odds as late as March, listed at +175, but it was Connor Hellebuyck who skated off with the trophy.

Hellebuyck opened as a +2000 longshot in the fall and climbed to a +250 second choice by March before taking the award. Rask led the NHL in goals-against average but had played only 38 games.

Here’s how the 2020 Vezina odds played out.

2020 Vezina Trophy Odds (March 2)

Goalie Odds
Tuukka Rask (Bruins) +175
Connor Hellebuyck (Jets) +250
Jordan Binnington (Blues) +600
Ben Bishop (Stars) +700
Andrei Vasilevskiy (Lightning) +800
Frederik Andersen (Maple Leafs) +900

Odds as of March 2, 2020. Hellebuyck ultimately won the award despite Rask leading this snapshot.

The shifts that defined the 2020 Vezina race:

  • [Sept. 21] Connor Hellebuyck won the 2020 Vezina.
  • [March 2] Tuukka Rask became the outright favorite at +175, leading the NHL in GAA and sitting fourth in save percentage despite playing only 38 games.
  • [January 3] Books were thin on the Vezina market, posting odds for just six goalies.
  • [November 4] Anaheim’s John Gibson (+550) was the chalk, though Boston’s Tuukka Rask (+750) led the NHL in both GAA and save percentage.
  • [October 11] Frederik Andersen drifted from +550 to +800 after an ugly start (2-2, 3.75 GAA, .878 SV%). John Gibson (1.26 GAA, .961 SV%) improved from +2000 to +900.
  • [October 1] Carey Price kept climbing, this time from +1500 to +1200.
  • [September 23] Andrei Vasilevskiy slipped from +550 to +600, while Carey Price and Connor Hellebuyck both improved from +2000 to +1500.
  • [September 16] Frederik Andersen and reigning champion Andrei Vasilevskiy opened as co-favorites at +550.

2019 Vezina Trophy Odds

Sports Betting Dime

Wins still matter to Vezina voters, and Andrei Vasilevskiy proved it in 2019. The Tampa Bay starter took the award in a landslide, drawing 28 of 30 first-place votes on the strength of a league-best 39-10-4 record.

What makes it notable is that Vasilevskiy didn’t crack the top five in goals-against average or save percentage, and he missed time with injury along the way. The chart above tracks his odds from when they opened in September 2018 through the last update before the June awards show.
