Hart Trophy Showdown: Unexpected Contenders Emerge as Early MVP Favorites for 2025–2026 NHL Season
At the midseason checkpoint, MacKinnon had already produced 78 points and 36 goals, averaging 1.81 points per game. That scoring pace actually surpassed the rate of last year’s Hart Trophy winner by roughly 0.25 points per game, highlighting just how exceptional his season has been.
MacKinnon’s even-strength impact has also been extraordinary. He has recorded 29 even-strength goals and 58 points, while the Avalanche holds a remarkable +53 goal differential (76–23) when he is on the ice. Those numbers underline his importance to Colorado’s offensive and defensive success.
