DOMINIK HASEK of the Buffalo Sabres captured his third consecutive and fifth VEZINA TROPHY in six seasons. He became only the fourth goaltender in NHL history to win five VEZINAS, after compiling a 30-18-14 record during the 1998-99 season. HASEK finished with nine shutouts, a 1.87 GAA and a league-leading .937 save percentage. Toronto's Curtis Joseph was the VEZINA runner-up.
