2025/26 NHL Vezina Trophy odds

Logan Thompson	+1200
Jake Oettinger	+1400

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was recently named the 2024/25 Vezina Trophy winner, and he's the early +300 favorite to win it again in 2025/26.

In 2024/25, Hellebuyck led all goalies in goals against average (2.00), shutouts (8), goals saved above average (42), and goalie point shares (14.5). He finished second among all players in point shares, and he finished second in save percentage at .925 — the league leader's was .926.

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin, who was rewarded with a lucrative contract early in the 2024/25 campaign, is the +650 second-favorite. He won the award in 2021/22, and this past season, he faced the most shots (1,751), made the most total saves (1,584), and finished tied for second in shutouts (6) while posting a .905 save percentage and 2.86 goals against average.

Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, Vezina winner in 2018/19, has the third-shortest odds (+850). He led the league in minutes played (3,743) and finished fourth in save percentage (.921) and tied for second in shutouts (6).

Washington Capitals netminder Logan Thompson (+1200) is fourth in the Vezina market. In the 2024/25 regular season, he was seventh in goals against average (2.49), ninth in save percentage (.910), and ninth in goals saved above expected (12) while playing for the eventual No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

A total of 11 goaltenders are between 14/1 and 30/1 to win the Vezina in 2025/26: Jake Oettinger, Dustin Wolf, Darcy Kuemper, Sergei Bobrovsky, Anthony Stolarz, Ilya Sorokin, Filip Gustavsson, Mackenzie Blackwood, Jacob Markstrom, and Linus Ullmark.

NHL Vezina Trophy past winners

Before the 1981/82 season, the Vezina Trophy was automatically awarded to the goalie to start the most games for the team that allowed the fewest goals. From '81/82 on, the award has been voted upon by NHL general managers.

The following list only includes winners from '81/82 and beyond, since the award for the goalie to start the most games for the team with the fewest goals allowed now gets awarded the William M. Jennings Trophy.
