Connor Hellebuyck is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, the NHL announced on Monday.
The Winnipeg Jets goalie was unveiled along with Thatcher Demko of the Vancouver Canucks and Sergei Bobrovsky of the Florida Panthers.
The award is voted on by the NHL general managers and will be announced at a later date.
Hellebuyck was 37-19-4 this season while posting a 2.39 goals-against average and .921 save percentage and recording five shutouts in 60 starts. He also led the league in goals saved above expected, according to Money Puck, and helped the Jets capture the William M. Jennings Trophy for allowing the fewest goals (199) in the NHL this season.
Hellebuyck won the Vezina Trophy in 2019-20 and this is the fourth time he’s been a finalist for the award.
The Jets are down 3-1 in the first round series with the Colorado Avalanche and will try to stave off elimination on Tuesday when they host Game 5 at Canada Life Centre (8:50 p.m. CT, CBC, CJOB).
