Hart Trophy Showdown: Unexpected Contenders Emerge as Early MVP Favorites for 2025–2026 NHL Season
One of McDavid’s most impressive stretches came during a 17-game point streak, when he produced 41 points and 18 goals. During that run, he averaged 2.41 points per game, which projects to an extraordinary 198-point pace over a full 82-game season.
While maintaining that level of production for an entire season is unlikely, the streak demonstrated how quickly McDavid can shift the MVP narrative. Sportsbooks responded accordingly, adjusting his Hart Trophy odds significantly during the surge.
Midseason voting totals show McDavid with 59 voting points and three first-place votes, placing him firmly within striking distance of MacKinnon.
