Connor Hellebuyck has been voted the top goaltender in the NHL for a second straight season. The Winnipeg Jets netminder was named the 2024-25 Vezina Trophy winner during the 2025 NHL Awards on Thursday. The Vezina Trophy is awarded annually to "the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at this position" as voted on by NHL general managers.
Hellebuyck's efforts were recognized in their own right in a massive, history-making way on Thursday. The American goalie was both awarded the Hart and Vezina trophies, handed out to the league's MVP and best netminder, respectively. Hellebuyck was surprised by family members with the honors.
