Vezina Trophy Odds 2026: Hellebuyck in Pole Position to Win Third Straight Vezina

Connor Hellebuyck continued his regular-season dominance last season, winning his second straight Vezina and first Hart Trophy. He's the favorite to win his third straight Vezina at this early juncture.

Any guesses about what Vezina Trophy odds favorite Connor Hellebuyck would say if you ask him whether he'd trade in his three Vezinas for one sip from the Stanley Cup?

Although I can't hear you, I assume we've reached a consensus.

Still, his regular-season dominance - reflected by his Vezina Trophy odds at our best sports betting sites - is off the charts good, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wins his third straight this season.

Several netminders might have something to say about that, including Igor Shesterkin, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Jake Oettinger, and, quite possibly, Anthony Stolarz.

Until someone can get close to knocking Hellebuyck off his Vezina Trophy odds perch, I won't deviate. I backed him to win the Hart and the Vezina last season, so this is the least I owe him.

I wish I could do one better and unburden him of his Stanley Cup playoffs curse, but that malignant hex is far too powerful for my mere mortal spells.

Hellebuyck was so dominant last season that he had the trophy wrapped up by the start of the 4 Nations Face-Off. So, if you think the +325 odds offered by Caesars are too hefty a price to pay, remember that he was trading at -10000 toward the tail end of last season.

Admittedly, I have my peripherals on Jake Oettinger, whom I expect to enjoy a sensational season without Peter DeBoer's ominous presence.
