Summary
Andrei Vasilevskiy collected his second Vezina Trophy after Tampa Bay revealed the NHL’s top-goalie award with a prank involving police and a suspicious object in his car.
The Lightning’s setup played on the NHL’s recent practice of announcing major award winners early and packaging the reveals as surprise social-media moments.
Vasilevskiy beat out Boston’s Jeremy Swayman and the Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin for the honor, underscoring another elite season for the veteran Tampa Bay netminder.
The award adds to a memorable year that also included a goalie fight with fellow Vezina finalist Swayman during the outdoor Winter Classic.
