With the 2026-27 NHL season underway, it's time to take a look at the Vezina Trophy odds. Unsurprisingly, some familiar faces round out the top of the board.
Connor Hellebuyck comes in with the best chance of winning at +450, up from +500 despite publicly requesting a trade this summer. Ilya Sorokin jumps up from +800 to +750, equaling Logan Thompson, who is down from +640.
Find out how the rest of the NHL odds look as we head deep into the offseason.

Odds movement
9/28: Hellebuyck's odds shorten despite his playing status being very uncertain. Sorokin draws even in odds with Thompson, while Vasilevskiy remains idle.
9/14: Connor Hellebuyck sees his favorite status nearly crumble after a highly public trade request. Logan Thompson is the narrow No. 2, while Ilya Sorokin barely surpasses Andrei Vasilevskiy for the No.3 spot.
7/30: The top of the odds board is stacked as always, and Connor Hellebuyck opened as a sizeable favorite. Movement has come, however, with Logan Thompson breaking into the No. 2 spot ahead of Vasilevskiy.

Vezina Trophy prediction
Jesper Wallstedt
I'm wary of Hellebuyck due to his holdout and imminent trade out of Winnipeg, and the odds for the rest of the Top 3 are just too short for me to justify. Vasilevskiy has only been nominated twice in the last five seasons and posted a -5.2 GSAA as recently as 2023-24, and Thompson has yet to be nominated despite two fourth-place finishes.
Wallstedt's .916 save percentage and 82 GA% both ranked second in the NHL, and his 19.6 GSAA ranked fifth despite only playing in 35 games. Filip Gustavsson struggled for the Wild down the stretch, and I think this is the season that 23-year-old Wallstedt establishes himself as one of the league's elite.

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.
