Lightningβs Andrei Vasilevskiy wins the Vezina Trophy as NHLβs top goalie in balloting by the leagueβs general managers. #Isles Ilya Sorokin was the runner-up, receiving eight first-place votes. He also finished second in 2023 (to Linus Ullmark) with three first-place votes.
Robert Thomas trade rumors can be put to rest. The #stlblues are not looking to move their #1 center. Expect Thomas to be on the roster when training camp begins in September.
While Cole Caufield thought he was surprising Nick Suzuki with the Selke, it was Suzuki who was also waiting to surprise Caufield with the 2026 Lady Byng Trophy.
Caufield is the first #GoHabsGo winner of the Byng since Mats Naslund in 1988, as voted by @ThePHWA.
