Henrik Lundqvist finally has won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best goaltender.
Lundqvist, the New York Rangers' netminder, finally took home the Vezina after an extended run as a runner-up for this award. This time, Lundqvist's 39-18 record with five shutouts and a 1.97 goals-against average and .930 save percentage was enough to earn him the nod as the League's top goalie. Lundqvist beat out Nashville's Pekka Rinne and Jonathan Quick of the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings for the award, which is voted on by the NHL's 30 general managers.
