Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck picked up a rare double when he won both the Vezina Trophy (outstanding goaltender) and the Hart Trophy, the NHL's MVP award.
It's his second consecutive Vezina and third overall, but it's just the fourth time that a goaltender has won the Hart Trophy during the league's post-1967 expansion era.
Hellebuyck, the top U.S. goalie at the 4 Nations Face-Off, led the NHL with 47 victories, tied for second most in league history, as the Jets captured the first Presidents' Trophy (top regular-season record) in franchise history. He gave up two or fewer goals in 40 of 63 appearances and led the league (minimum 25 games played) in goals-against average (2.00) and shutouts (eight). He finished second in save percentage (.925).
The most recent goalies to win the Hart Trophy were Carey Price (2014-15), Jose Theodore (2001-02) and Dominik Hasek (1996-97 and 1997-98).
Hellebuyck is the first repeat Vezina winner since Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur in 2006-07 and 2007-08.
