Buffalo Sabres Vezina Trophy: Jhonas Enroth
The Vezina Trophy is awarded to the best goaltender, and for the 2014-2015 Buffalo Sabres season, that honor goes to Jhonas Enroth. Though he was traded to the Dallas Stars in the midst of the season, Enroth was undoubtedly the Sabres’ best netminder when he was in Buffalo.
He appeared in 37 games for the Sabres, more than any other netminder, and started 35 of those. Enroth ended his time in Buffalo with a 13-21-2 record and a 3.27 GAA. Enroth had 1,117 saves in his 37 games this past season for an overall save percentage of .903.
Enroth also played over 2,000 minutes of ice time this past season for the Sabres.
Runner-up: Anders Lindback, who came into Buffalo when he was traded for Enroth from Dallas. Lindback appeared in 16 games for the Sabres, starting 15 of them. He had a 2.76 GAA and .924 save percentage in that time, the best numbers for any of the five goaltenders who played for the Sabres at some point last season.
