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 sliding down the odds board, while Leon Draisaitl continues to separate himself as the favorite. Down below, we'll keep NHL betting fans 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 46 goals in 63 games this season.
William Nylander (Toronto Maple Leafs): Nylander was not the Maple Leaf that many expected to be in the top three on the odds board for the award at this point in the season, but as we enter the middle of February, he has tucked away 35 goals in 63 games. While January was the first month that Nylander didn't record at least seven or more goals, his six for the month and five in February have been enough to keep him second in the league.
Mark Scheifele (Winnipeg Jets): Scheifele is coming off one of the better seasons in his long career, but most of his points last season came from assists. While Scheifele is in the midst of another strong season, his points have come more from goals this year, as his 35 are the second most in the league. The most goals the Jets star has ever recorded in a season is 42, so with 32 through 58 games, Scheifele is well on his way to setting a new career high.
