Winning multiple Vezina Trophies is not something we have seen often over the past ten years, but Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has won two in the past five years. Hellebuyck has constantly proven he is one of the elite goaltenders in the game, and this season has been no different, as he remains a heavy favorite with the season heading towards the end of January.

*odds as of January 20, 2024
Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets): Hellebuyck won the Vezina back in 2019-20 and was just able to secure the award for the second time during the 2023-24 season. During last season, the Jets goaltender led the league in goals saved above average and goalie point shares while also posting a .921 save percentage, the best percentage he's put up since winning the Vezina for the first time. The Jets goalie has undoubtedly opened the 2024-25 season with a bang, as he became the first goalie to record 20 wins and is allowing just 1.97 goals per game with a .929% save percentage, and a league-leading six shutouts.
Logan Thompson (Washington Capitals): The Capitals have taken a lot of people by surprise this season, and Thompson has been a vital aspect of their strong season. As we head towards the end of January, Thompson is third in the league with a 21-2-3 record, second in the league with a 2.09 goals allowed average, and is also boasting a .925% save percentage.
Mackenzie Blackwood (Colorado Avalanche): Mackenzie Blackwood started the year on a bit of a slower note, but just like his team, he has come into form as of late. With a 4-2-1 record and an average of 1.89 goals allowed per game in January, Blackwood has moved into third on the odds board. Overall, the 28-year-old has a 15-12-4 record and a .918% save percentage on the season.
