4/2: We have ourselves a good ole' fahioned tendy off for the 2026 Vezina Trophy. Andrei Vasilevskiy has been overtaken by Ilya Sorokin as we enter the regular season's home stretch.
Sorokin has been the catalyst for New York's resurgence in the ultra-competitive Metro division, and it looks like he may be properly rewarded for all his hard work.
3/23: Andrei Vasilevskiy's grip on the Vezina Trophy has only strengthened, with his odds jumping to -200 since the last update. He has the most wins among goaltenders and is also in the Top 3 in both GAA and SV%. While Jeremy Swayman saw his odds cut in half, it may be too little too late for the B's tendy.
3/4: Vasilevskiy didn't stick around at plus money for very long, now sitting at -135. Meanwhile, Ilya Sorokin dipped from -125 to +100. As for LT, his odds plummeted from +1100 to +1800.

Vezina Trophy prediction
Ilya Sorokin is the rightful favorite at this point of the season, but Andrei Vasilevskiy is right on his heels. Sorokin has had to do his best Superman imitation up to this point, and I can see the walls cracking sooner than later.
The Lightning are the much better team, and they can provide Vasilevskiy with better defensive support to keep their netminder clean.
I don't know how much longer the Tampa netminder will be plus money, so I'm hopping on him now at a unit.

Understanding NHL Vezina odds
Most sportsbooks will display odds in the American format as listed above. When the regular season is nearly finished and a consensus has emerged, you might see a player with a minus sign (-) ahead of his odds, like this:
- Andrei Vasilevskiy -135
The (-) means that Hellebuyck is the odds-on favorite, and a bettor would need to wager $135 to win $100. Other contenders in the Vezina race might have plus (+) odds to win.
- Ilya Sorokin +100
Here, a bettor stood to profit $100 for every $100 wagered.
If American odds aren't your thing, simply use a tool like our odds converter to switch the odds to decimal or fractional format. Most online sportsbooks also give you the option to change the odds format that you see.
