McDavid wins 6th Art Ross, MacKinnon claims 'Rocket' Richard
Connor McDavid wrapped up his pursuit of a sixth Art Ross Trophy with a four-point performance in Thursday's season finale against the Vancouver Canucks, ending his campaign with a league-leading 138 points.
McDavid joins Wayne Gretzky (10), Gordie Howe (6), and Mario Lemieux (6) as the only players in NHL history to win six scoring titles. McDavid joins the illustrious group in his 11th year in the league.
His 138 points are the second-most of his career, trailing only the 153 points he produced in 2022-23.
Here's a look at how the scoring race finished:
| Player | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Connor McDavid | Edmonton Oilers | 138 |
| Nikita Kucherov | Tampa Bay Lightning | 130 |
| Nathan MacKinnon | Colorado Avalanche | 127 |
| Macklin Celebrini | San Jose Sharks | 115 |
| Mark Scheifele | Winnipeg Jets | 103 |
This year's goal-scoring crown belongs to MacKinnon, who adds a "Rocket" Richard to a resume that also includes a Hart, Art Ross, Calder Trophy, and Stanley Cup.
