MONTREAL – Carey Price was named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy on Friday, which is awarded to the goaltender judged to be the best at his position as voted by the general managers of all NHL clubs.
The 27-year-old will vie for the honour alongside Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators and Devan Dubnyk of the Minnesota Wild.
Price enjoyed a remarkable 2014-15 regular season campaign, leading the League with 44 wins, a 1.96 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage, in addition to registering nine shutouts, one back of Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Marc-Andre Fleury.
