In one of the worst kept secrets in the NHL, Jacob Markstrom was announced as a Vezina Trophy Finalist this afternoon by the league. The Flames top keeper is absolutely worthy of the nomination as he had one of the best goaltending seasons in Flames history.
As far as 2021-22 went, Markstrom was dominant. He led the league in shutouts with 9 (one away from tying the Flames franchise record of 10), he was fourth in wins with 37, third in games started (63), fourth in Sv% (.922) and third in GAA (2.22).
Will that all be enough to bring home the hardware?
