Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy for the third time. Hellebuyck, Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders and Linus Ullmark of the Boston Bruins were named Thursday as the finalists for the award, given out annually to the NHL's top goaltender.
The 29-year-old from Commerce Charter Township, Mich., won the award in 2020 and finished second to Nashville's Pekka Rinne in 2018.
Hellebuyck posted a 37-25-2 record with a league-leading 64 starts in 2022-23 with a 2.49 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and four shutouts.
He recorded a save percentage over .900 in 46 starts, leading all NHL goaltenders. Hellebuyck ranked second in the NHL in total saves (1,807) and third in shots faced (1,964), with both figures tops among goaltenders on playoff teams.
