Jacques Plante has the NHL record for winning the most Vezina trophies with seven Vezinas which were all won while he played for the Montreal Canadiens and St. Louis Blues before he was on the Maple Leafs. He also won six Stanley Cups and a Hart trophy while with the Canadiens.
While with the Maple Leafs though, he set an NHL record for Best Single Season Save Percentage (playing at least 25 games) with a .944 in 1970-71. That beat his own record of .940 set in 1968-69 while with the St. Louis Blues.
