2024-25 NHL Rocket Richard Trophy Odds
Hockey fans love scoring, and there are quite a few players in the league who produce goals at a jaw-dropping rate. Players like Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid, and David Pastrnak set off the goal horn more than most players could imagine. As a result, they are in constant competition for the Rocket Richard Trophy, which goes to the leading goal-scorer each year.
In the 2023-24 season, Matthews hoisted the Rocket Richard Trophy for the third time in his career, but with a slow start and an injury, he is down to sliding down the odds board, while Leon Draisaitl continues to separate himself as the favorite. Down below, we'll keep NHL bettors up to date on all odds movements for this award throughout the 2024-25 season.

Current Favorites
Leon Draisaitl (Edmonton Oilers): With Connor McDavid having to miss time with an ankle injury, the Oilers have needed to rely heavily on Draisaitl to produce much of their scoring. Draisaitl answered that call when McDavid was on the shelf, and he has since continued his impressive scoring pace, as he's tucked away a league-leading 33 goals in 46 games this season.
Sam Reinhart (Florida Panthers): Through the first eight full seasons of his NHL career, Sam Reinhart had never scored more than 33 goals in a season. However, last year, Reinhart came out and put up a career-high 57 goals, proving he was ready to take the next step in his career. Reinhart has had no problem continuing his impressive scoring pace this season, as he is tied for second in the league with 27 goals through 47 games.
Brayden Point (Tampa Bay Lightning): After three injury-riddled seasons, Brayden Point is proving he can be a true 50-goal-a-season type of player. Point produced his first 50-goal season in 2022-23, and he is well on his way to matching or improving upon that number this season, as he is up to 27 goals through 39 games. While Point is actually 4th in shots on the Lightning, his impressive 29.7% shooting percentage has him leading the team in goals.
