Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark leads the race to win the NHL Vezina Trophy, according to the bookmakers.

Ullmark has played a major role in Boston’s outstanding regular season form, and at the time of writing he boasts a 34-4-1 record as a starter – the best record in the NHL.

That is not all though – he is also setting the standard in several other statistical areas.

He boasts a league best save percentage of .938, and has a goals saved above average rating of 35.12.

Ullmark’s goals against average, of 1.86, is only bettered by players who have made just one appearance – he has made 37 at this time – and his goals against percentage is an NHL-best 66%.

Therefore it is no shock to see the Boston star heading up the Vezina Trophy betting heading into March.

Ullmark is the 17/50 favourite at bookmaker Stake, with Connor Hellebuyck and Ilya Sorokin the only other players shorter than 10s at the time of writing.

Helleybuyck boasts a save percentage of .923 that has helped keep Winnipeg firmly in the hunt for the postseason, while he also ranks top five in goals saved above average (25.40) and goals against percentage (81).

Sorokin, meanwhile, possesses a slightly better save percentage of .924, and ranks slightly higher in goals saved above average and goals against percentage as the New York Islanders target the postseason.

He may have slightly better numbers than Hellebuyck, but it is the Jets goaltender who is the 26/5 second favourite at this time, with Sorokin just behind him at 27/5.

The top five is rounded out by 10/1 Jake Oettinger of the Dallas Stars and 16/1 Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers.
