The 2024-25 Vezina Trophy odds have two-time winner Connor Hellebuyck as the runaway favorite at -270 from BET99, that's a 73% implied chance of winning the Vezina. Minnesota Wild's Filip Gustavsson is second at a seemingly distant +210.
If you're looking for a dark horse candidate why not Toronto's Anthony Stolarz at +10000? He might not get the same number of starts as favorite Connor Hellebuyck, but could he steal the Goalie of the Year trophy?

2024-25 Vezina Trophy Odds Favorite: Connor Hellebuyck
Hellebuyck is first for goals against average (2.07), second for save percentage (0.927), first for shutouts (4) and wins (22). This isn't uncharted territory for the Jets goalie, having won the Vezina in 19-20 and last season as well as finishing runner-up in 17-18. He's been one of the top goalies in the league for years.
Owning the crease in Winnipeg means he'll get some 60 starts and because of how good the Jets are, he'll end up winning well over 30 of those games, putting him at the top of the league for wins and an immediate seat at the table to win the Vezina.
So long as Hellebuyck can maintain a roughly 0.920 save percentage and a goals-against average of around 2.30, he will win the Vezina Trophy for a third time.
2024-25 Vezina Trophy Odds Value Pick: Anthony Stolarz
Anthony Stolarz has been exceptional in the Leafs' crease holding a 0.927 save percentage (league leader) and 2.15 goals against average (second in the league), the former Florida Panther has brought some desperately needed stability to the Toronto crease and that's going to matter when it comes time to vote.
With an injury that will see him miss 4-6 weeks and splitting the crease with Joseph Woll, Stolarz won't get the volume of starts that Hellebuyck will get and thus get fewer wins, but that hasn't always been a net negative in the Vezina race. In 2019, Robin Lehner finished third in Vezina voting with only 25 wins, 14 fewer than winner Andrei Vasilevskiy, Lehner's edge was holding excellent numbers at a 0.930SV% and 2.13 GAA.
Now consider that Stolarz plays in Toronto and not on Long Island. Stolarz is in, I hate saying this but it's true, "the center of the hockey universe" and if he keeps up these numbers he'll have every eye on him as he becomes the goalie savior the Leafs have been hoping for since they started a rebuild in 2016. That will help his Vezina campaign and with his outstanding numbers, he can do what Robin Lehner just missed out on in 2019.
