Some of the faces are the same, but there has been a lot of movement in the Vezina Trophy race for the 2014 NHL season over the past month.
Darcy Kuemper of the Minnesota Wild was fourth just a few weeks ago but fell off the map with four losses in his last seven and an ugly two goals on two shots in a seven-minute appearance recently.
