Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets has made history by winning the Hart Trophy as the NHL's MVP and the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender, marking his second consecutive win of the Vezina and third overall. Hellebuyck's performance in the regular season was exceptional, boasting a 47-12-3 record, a .925 save percentage, and eight shutouts, making him a standout in a league often dominated by skaters. He is the first goalie since Carey Price in 2015 to win the Hart Trophy and joins an elite group of goaltenders to achieve this honor, highlighting the importance of a strong locker room culture in his success. Despite his regular-season achievements, Hellebuyck's playoff performance was less stellar, which opens up discussions about his future in the postseason.
