US EditionJets goaltender Hellebuyck named Vezina finalist for third straight year
- Connor Hellebuyck, the 31-year-old Winnipeg Jets goaltender, was named a finalist for the 2024-25 Vezina Trophy on Monday, marking his third consecutive nomination.
- Hellebuyck earned this recognition after leading the league with 47 wins, posting career-best stats, and backstopping Winnipeg to the Presidents' Trophy and best regular-season record.
- Despite his strong regular season, Hellebuyck struggled in the playoffs against the St. Louis Blues, allowing 11 goals on 43 shots and being pulled during the last two losses as the series reached 2-2.
- Hellebuyck stated he maintains confidence and will not make drastic changes, emphasizing mental strength as vital in playoffs and saying, "playoff time, that’s one of the most important attributes you can have."
- If Hellebuyck wins, he would become the first goalie to repeat as Vezina Trophy winner since Martin Brodeur in 2006-07 and join elite multi-time recipients since the award's current format began in 1981-82.
