Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck is 6th goalie in NHL history to win Hart and Vezina in the same year
June 12, 2025
Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck has won the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP and the Vezina Trophy as the league’s best goaltender. He is the first goalie to take home the awards in the same year since Carey Price in 2015 and just the sixth all time. Dominik Hasek did it twice in the 1990s. Hellebuyck finished ahead of Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl and Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov in Hart voting by members of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. He was a landslide winner of the Vezina as chosen by general managers. Los Angeles captain Anze Kopitar won the Lady Byng for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct for a third time.
