Sergei Bobrovsky (CLS - Goaltender)
News: Bobrovsky has been named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, awarded to the NHL's top netminder. [+]
Impact: He'll be competing with Antti Niemi of the Sharks and the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist, but after an out-of-nowhere season that included 21 wins, a 2.00 GAA and .932 save percentage in 38 games, as well as a key role in guiding the cinderella Blue Jackets to within a tie-breaker of a postseason berth, Bobrovsky is arguably the favorite to take home the hardware.
