Demko, a first-time finalist, emerged as a standout performer for the Canucks, starting 51 games and securing 35 wins along with five shutouts. Despite missing time due to injury, Demko played a crucial role in Vancouver's success, leading them to their best finish in 13 seasons.
Bobrovsky, a three-time Vezina finalist and two-time winner, demonstrated his prowess in net for the Panthers. He posted 36 wins, tied for the league lead with six shutouts, a .915 save percentage, and a 2.37 goals-against average, helping Florida secure the top spot in the Atlantic Division.
