Robin Lehner did not come home with the Vezina trophy, but he and goalie tandem partner Thomas Greiss accepted the William Jennings Trophy along with Lehner’s award for “perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey.”
Lehner, previously announced as a finalist for the Vezina, finished third in the voting behind the Dallas Stars’ Ben Bishop and Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, who won the award. In the final voting tally, Lehner received zero first-place votes; Bishop received two, while Vasilevskiy received 28.
