Preseason bold prediction: Igor Shesterkin will win the Vezina Trophy
Pass, fail or incomplete? Fail
This is a fail because the award is almost certainly going to go to Connor Hellebuyck, not because Shesterkin hasn’t had an excellent season. He has a .908 save percentage, which is impressive because of the Rangers’ porous defensive play. Only Hellebuyck entered Wednesday with a better goals saved above expected mark, according to Evolving-Hockey. He is deserving of being a Vezina finalist, even though his surface stats don’t suggest it. This prediction will end up wrong, but I stand by the logic. — Peter Baugh
