Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning has once again proven he is among the elite in the NHL, winning his third Art Ross Trophy after leading the league in scoring for the 2024-25 season with 121 points. This achievement marks his second consecutive win, solidifying his status as one of only ten players to have won the award three or more times. Kucherov's performance included high marks in both assists and advanced metrics, such as power-play points.

On the goal-scoring front, Leon Draisaitl of the Edmonton Oilers captured the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy, scoring 52 goals in just 71 games. This season's performance was particularly notable as he consistently led the league in goals, demonstrating his ability to find the back of the net even in limited appearances. Draisaitl’s standout stats illustrate his scoring prowess, especially in clutch situations.
