Vasilevskiy Gets a Surprise Second Vezina From a Police K-9

Andrei Vasilevskiy is at the center of a story with just enough weirdness to feel very hockey, which is to say it somehow involves hardware and a dog. The surprise angle gives this a little extra theater, because a second Vezina is never just another trophy in a goalie room. Tampa Bay knows exactly what Vasilevskiy means when he is stacking awards and expectations, and the reaction here tells you the moment landed.
