Stars goalie Ben Bishop comes in second in Vezina Trophy voting

The trophy case remains bare for Ben Bishop.

The Stars goaltender missed out on another Vezina Trophy on Tuesday night despite leading the league in save percentage, as Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy won the award for the first time in his career.

The Vezina Trophy is given to the league’s best goaltender and voting by the NHL’s general managers is done before the postseason.

Bishop finished second and received just two first-place votes. Of the 31 general managers, seven left Bishop entirely off their ballot of three goaltenders.

Marc-Andre Fleury (Vegas) was the only other goalie to receive a first-place vote after starting 61 games and posting eight shutouts, but he finished fourth.
