NHL Vezina Trophy finalists announced: Vasilevskiy nears rare goaltending territory

The Tampa Bay Lightning’s Andrei Vasilevskiy, Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders and Jeremy Swayman of the Boston Bruins on Wednesday were named finalists for the Vezina Trophy, awarded to the NHL goaltender “adjudged to be the best at this position.”Vasilevskiy, who won the award in 2019, is the favorite to win it again. Doing so would make him the 24th goalie in NHL history with multiple Vezina Trophy wins. He also join Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky and Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck as the only active goalies with multiple Vezina wins.Advertisement
