Vezina Trophy prediction
Ilya Sorokin is the current betting favorite to win the 2026 Vezina Trophy due to his league-leading six shutouts and a dominant 2.44 GAA. Despite the Islanders ranking near the bottom in defensive zone time, Sorokin leads the NHL with over 24.8 Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx), effectively stealing games against elite offenses.
Following a historic January where he posted a .935 save percentage, Sorokin has cemented his case by carrying a heavy workload. His ability to maintain a .916 save percentage while facing high shot volumes makes him the undeniable frontrunner heading into the stretch run.
Pick: Ilya Sorokin (-125)

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:
- Connor Hellebuyck -400
The (-) means that Hellebuyck is the odds-on favorite, and a bettor would need to wager $400 to win $100. Other contenders in the Vezina race might have plus (+) odds to win.
- Igor Shesterkin +650
Here, a bettor stood to profit $650 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.
