16 NHL.com writers recently voted on who they think should win the Vezina Trophy this year, and Jets' Connor Hellebuyck currently leads all goaltenders.

Connor Hellebuyck is set to be the first consecutive Vezina Trophy-winning goalie for two years running since 2008. His Winnipeg Jets teammates think he's far from done when it comes to winning awards and should get more than just a Vezina.
"We think he should be in the Hart Trophy conversation," Jets captain Adam Lowry said. "It's very rare you see a goalie there, not since Carey Price (in 2015), and I think he should be."

One of the top reasons for the Jets' success this season, Hellebuyck boasts a league-high 38 wins and six shutouts. Among goalies with 20 or more games played, he has the league's best goals-against average (1.99) and save percentage (.927).
His dominance has made him the odds-on favorite to win the Vezina Trophy, receiving all 16 first-place votes from NHL.com's voting panel, just as he did at the season's start and midpoint.
If he succeeds, Hellebuyck will be just the fourth goalie to take home the Vezina in consecutive years since NHL general managers began voting on the award in 1982, joining legends Patrick Roy, Dominik Hasek, and Martin Brodeur.
His greatness isn't confined to games, as Jets skaters develop their scoring skills in practice when they take shots against arguably the world's best goaltender.

Jets have top five scoring in the NHL this season, as well as elite goaltending

That might be one of the reasons why Winnipeg ranks among the NHL's top five in scoring (3.47 goals per game).
Hellebuyck last season, for the second time, was awarded his second Vezina in his career with his 37 wins, 2.39 GAA, .921 save percentage, and five shutouts.
His playoff run, however, ended with a bitter flavor, allowing 24 goals (.870 save percentage) as the Avalanche eliminated him and his Jets from the first round.
This year, he is even better and those who play with him believe that he should enjoy all of the limelight, but this time hopefully deep into the playoffs.
