Here’s the latest Art Ross Trophy update.
- Connor McDavid won the Art Ross Trophy for the 2025-2026 NHL season, leading the league in scoring. This marks his sixth Art Ross trophy.[8]
- Nikita Kucherov has been a frequent top contender in recent seasons, with odds and discussion suggesting he was a strong candidate for multiple Art Ross titles in 2025-2026, though McDavid ultimately claimed the trophy that year.[2][4]
- The Art Ross Trophy has a long history, with the award presented to the league’s scoring leader going back to 1948.[6]
If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date official NHL citation or provide a quick snapshot of the top point leaders from the 2025-26 season.
