Kucherov wins third consecutive Art Ross Trophy, Draisaitl claims Richard Trophy

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov has won the Art Ross Trophy for the 2024-25 NHL season, marking his third career and second consecutive win as the league's top scorer. Kucherov tallied 121 points (37 goals, 84 assists) in 78 games, finishing five points ahead of Colorado Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon. He became only the 10th player in NHL history to win three Art Ross Trophies and the 14th to record at least three 120-point seasons, while also achieving three straight 80-assist campaigns, a rare feat among NHL greats. Kucherov's consistency and work ethic have been praised by teammates and coaches, and his five 100-point seasons are the most ever by a Russian-born player. His contributions have been pivotal to Tampa Bay's success, and he will lead the team into the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Edmonton Oilers' Leon Draisaitl won the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy as the NHL's top goal-scorer this season.
