The 2025-26 Vezina Trophy Odds have now made Logan Thompson the favorite to win the Goalie of the Year at +220. Thompson is averaging a 0.919 save percentage and 2.02 goals against average, and is second for wins in the league at 12.
He might be a rookie, but Jesper Wallstedt is shooting up the Vezina odds board, sitting at +1400 at the time of writing. The Wild goalie is averaging an insanely good 0.944 save percentage and 1.74 goals against average. If the Wall of St. Paul keeps up this form and gets a few more starts, he could easily challenge for Goalie of the Year.

Vezina Trophy Betting Trends
BetMGM has kindly sent us Vezina Trophy betting data to analyze. Here's a look at where the public and sharp money are for the NHL's goalie of the year award.
Vezina Tophy Betting Trends Ticket % - Logan Thompson (11.4%)
Logan Thompson now leads all goalies for ticket percentage at 11.4%. The southpaw has done remarkably well for the second straight year in Washington now, leading to chatter that he might be Canada's starting goalie at the Olympics. A decision that could very well be fuelling this incredible play from Thompson.
Vezina Trophy Betting Trends Handle % - Connor Hellebuyck (18.7%)
Hellebuyck's handle percentage will likely continue to fall the longer he's out with an injury. Just a week ago, the Jets' goalie was sitting at 25.5%. I would expect that, in another week, Logan Thompson will be the new handle % leader.
Previous 10 Vezina Trophy Winners
| Year | Player | Team |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Connor Hellebuyck | Winnipeg Jets |
| 2024 | Connor Hellebuyck | Winnipeg Jets |
| 2023 | Linus Ullmark | Boston Bruins |
| 2022 | Igor Shesterkin | New York Rangers |
| 2021 | Marc-Andre Fleury | Vegas Golden Knights |
| 2020 | Connor Hellebuyck | Winnipeg Jets |
| 2019 | Andrei Vasilevskiy | Tampa Bay Lightning |
| 2018 | Pekka Rine | Nashville Predators |
| 2017 | Sergei Bobrovsky | Columbus Blue Jackets |
| 2016 | Braden Holtby | Washington Capitals |
With a third Vezina Trophy, it's clear that this is the era of Connor Hellebuyck in the NHL. But at 32 years old, how much longer will it last? Will the Jets' goalie keep on winning? How soon until he passes the torch to the next goalie to dominate the league?
Who Has Won The Most Vezina Trophies?
| Player | # Vezina Trophies Won | Years Won |
|---|---|---|
| Dominik Hasek | 6 | 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001 |
| Martin Brodeur | 4 | 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008 |
| Patrick Roy | 3 | 1989, 1990, 1992 |
| Connor Hellebuyck | 3 | 2020, 2024, 2025 |
| Ed Belfour | 2 | 1993, 1991 |
| Sergei Bobrovsky | 2 | 2013, 2017 |
Hasek is the clear winner here, going on an insane run of six Vezina trophies in seven years. It’s pretty incredible to be placed ahead of titans of the net like Martin Brodeur and Patrick Roy, who round out our multi-winner list with four and three wins, respectively.
NHL Teams with the Most Vezina Trophy Winners
| Team | # Vezina Trophies Won | Most Recent Winner |
|---|---|---|
| Buffalo Sabres | 8 | Ryan Miller - 2010 |
| Boston Bruins | 5 | Linus Ullmark - 2023 |
| Montreal Canadiens | 5 | Carey Price - 2015 |
| New Jersey Devils | 4 | Martin Brodeur - 2008 |
| New York Rangers | 3 | Igor Shesterkin - 2022 |
| Winnipeg Jets | 3 | Connor Hellebuyck - 2025 |
Technically, a Montreal goalie has won the Vezina 29 times; however, from 1935 to 1980, the award was given to the goalie with the fewest goals conceded. The definition for the award changed to what we use today for the 1981-82 season when New York Islanders goalie Billy Smith won it.
Dominik Hasek contributes heavily to the Sabres, adding six Vezina awards to their total of eight. Following them, the Bruins and Canadiens boast five wins thanks to multi-Vezina winners like Tim Thomas and Patrick Roy, respectively.
NHL Teams that have never had a player win the Vezina Trophy
Keeping in mind that we’re using Vezina standings from 1982 onward. If we included the years before 1982, the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs would have multiple winners.
With some incredible prospects in the pipeline, there are a few teams on this list who should break through to the trophy case sooner rather than later.
Vezina Trophy Betting Trends
Here are some trends that might help you place a bet on the Vezina Trophy or help you identify who to stay clear of:
- Back-to-back winners have been uncommon in recent years. Hellebuyck was the first to do so since Martin Brodeur took home consecutive awards in 2007 and 2008.
- There might be a bit of a postseason curse – no Vezina winner has gone on to claim the Stanley Cup in over ten years.
- Look for a goalie that's going to start 50+ games on a good team. You need a goalie who's going to rack up a lot of wins.
