The Vezina – Steve Mason probably has zero chance of getting any consideration. And if we’re looking at the first half, Andrei Vasilevskiy is a shoo-in. He paces the NHL with a .937 save percentage, 26 wins, 1.95 GAA and six shutouts. He’s been nothing short of incredible, and it would take quite a slide to lose the award. That being said, he’ll probably make another 30 starts or so.
Also, there’s three finalists for the award. As it stands, Connor Hellebuyck is probably on the outside looking in. He’s third with 21 wins and sixth in save percentage, tied with Henrik Lundqvist and John Gibson.
