The NHL regular season is well underway.
The hockey season is more than halfway gone, but there’s still ample time between now and the end of the year. That means there is still time to get lucrative odds betting on hockey futures, like the Vezina Trophy.

The latest NHL odds constantly evolve, but those are the current favorites.
2024 Vezina Trophy Prediction
Thatcher Demko, Vancouver Canucks (+300)
Demko has been on the rise for years now. His groin injury, which cost him three months last season, was a major factor in Bruce Boudreau losing his coaching job, but Demko has been lights out since coming back last February.
With Demko as stable in net as anyone and the Canucks near the top of the NHL standings, he should remain in the mix for the Vezina as long as he’s healthy. Demko’s odds have already shortened from +2200 preseason, and they will continue to if the Canucks keep playing well.
2023 Vezina Trophy Candidates
Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets (-110)
The Jets are off to an electric start, and Hellebuyck is the beneficiary.

Hellebuyck is the clear Vezina favorite and has won the Vezina Trophy once. He is likely to get credit for Winnipeg’s success nationally since many aren’t familiar with the Jets’ less-noteworthy roster.
If Hellebuyck continues to play well, his odds will only continue to shorten.
Jeremy Swayman, Boston Bruins (+700)
Swayman has split time with Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark this season but has emerged as the No. 1 in the 1/1A scenario this season.
This could be Swayman’s season to shine since he has been a top-three goaltender. The Bruins have been steamrolling teams, which will only boost both goalies’ chances.
Swayman’s profile will benefit by playing in hockey-mad Boston, and his odds have already shortened. Keep in mind that a single team had two separate goalies win the Vezina in consecutive years when the Bruins did so with Tiny Thompson and Frank Brimsek in 1938-39.
Vezina Trophy Sleepers
Igor Shesterkin, New York Rangers (+2800)
Shesterkin, who won the award and finished third in Hart Trophy voting in 2022, has been inconsistent this season. But he still has name recognition to earn a place in the All-Star Game.
With the Rangers atop the Metropolitan Division, Shesterkin can get back into the mix for the Vezina Trophy if he can pick up his play in the second half.
