The Vezina Trophy is a perennially unpredictable award, perhaps more so than any other major award in the NHL. It’s hard to predict which goaltender is poised to have a heroic season, as netminders are prone to large swings in their play from year to year.
More often than not, goalies who win the Vezina play in front of a competent defense corps and an above-average playoff team. The sole exception in the modern era was the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, when Sergei Bobrovsky won despite the Blue Jackets missing the postseason.

Vezina Trophy Top Contenders

- [September 15]: Hellebuyck leads the consensus Vezina odds around +400 as camps open. Vasilevskiy and Sorokin sit near +750, with Shesterkin around +900.
- [September 3] Books open the 2026-27 Vezina market with Connor Hellebuyck the favorite at +400. Reigning winner Andrei Vasilevskiy sits in a group at +750 with Logan Thompson and Ilya Sorokin, and Igor Shesterkin follows at +1000.
Vezina Trends to Consider
- The Eastern Conference has dominated recently (the Columbus Blue Jackets were in the Western Conference in 2012-2013, when Sergei Bobrovsky won).
- It’s almost impossible for a goalie to win the Vezina if their team doesn’t make the playoffs. This hasn’t happened since Sergei Bobrovsky in 2013 and only four times in league history.
- It’s essential for the Vezina winner to have a competent backup. Vasilevskiy handled just 58 games in his 2026 win, and no Vezina winner in the last decade has exceeded 69 games played. Rest is key to a consistently high level of play.
- Three-peats are extremely rare. Only Dominik Hasek has won three straight Vezinas in the modern era (1997-99). Hellebuyck’s bid for a third in a row ended when Vasilevskiy took the 2026 award.

Goalies with Multiple Vezina Trophies (Modern Era)
| Goalie | Vezina Trophies | Years |
|---|---|---|
| Dominik Hasek | 6 | 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001 |
| Martin Brodeur | 4 | 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 |

| Sergei Bobrovsky | 2 | 2013, 2017 |
| Ed Belfour | 2 | 1991, 1993 |
From 1946 to 1981, the Vezina was awarded to the team that allowed the fewest goals over a full season. After 1981, the criteria changed to NHL general managers voting on the league’s most dominant goaltender.
Entering 2026-27, Connor Hellebuyck owns three modern-era Vezinas, tying Patrick Roy, while Andrei Vasilevskiy owns two. Vasilevskiy, Hellebuyck and Sergei Bobrovsky are the only active goalies with multiple wins, and Hellebuyck will chase a fourth, a mark only Hasek and Brodeur have reached in the modern era. Vasilevskiy is chasing his third.
