Connor Hellebuyck first goalie since '15 to pull off Hart-Vezina double

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is the NHL's Hart Trophy winner for the 2024-25 season.

The Hart is awarded annually to the player "adjudged to be the most valuable to his team." The Jets' veteran netminder was just the third goalie in the past 10 years to be a finalist for the Hart. He's the first goalie to win it since Carey Price in 2015.

Hellebuyck also won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender, the third time he's earned that distinction in his career (2020, '24), and in so doing became the first goalie to win the Hart and Vezina trophies in the same year since Price a decade ago.
