Overview
- The NHL announced that Vasilevskiy won the 2025–26 Vezina Trophy after voting by general managers that ranked him above finalists Ilya Sorokin and Jeremy Swayman.
- Vasilevskiy led the league with 39 wins and posted a 39-15-4 record in 58 starts while finishing among the top goaltenders in goals-against average and save percentage.
- He produced an 18-game point streak during a dominant run in which he went 17-0-1 and played a key moment in the Stadium Series when he skated to center ice to confront Jeremy Swayman.
- This is his second Vezina and his sixth time as a finalist, and he became the sixth NHL goalie to record at least nine 30-win seasons with an active streak that trails only Martin Brodeur.
- The award reinforces Vasilevskiy’s standing as Tampa Bay’s long-term starter while he remains under contract through 2028 and it underlines his role in the Lightning’s sustained playoff success.
