A little more than a month into the NHL season and two Tampa Bay snipers are top the scoring race to the Art Ross Trophy. Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov might be the best 1-2 punch in the league right now and are causing matches for opposing guards seeking to maintain the Lightning’s top line off the scoreboard.
The two Stamkos (24 points) and Kucherov (21 points) opened at +450 on BetOnline to take home the Art Ross Trophy and in their current pace would be worthy wagers for bettors. In case you had to pick between the two, proceed with Kucherov as he finished third in scoring last season and Stamkos has a recent history with season-ending injuries.
Last year’s Art Ross winner has fought to begin the season. Connor McDavid finished with 100 points in his next season and led the NHL scoring parade the entire way. Valued at +500, McDavid may be in too much of a hole to conquer despite a commendable 13 points in 11 games.
Sidney Crosby, who has finished in the top five in scoring every year since 2012, is appreciated at +700. Crosby (12 points) has not won the Art Ross Trophy since 2014 and astonishingly has just won the award twice in his career.
Some dark horses to consider would be Patrick Kane (2016 winner) and John Tavares, who are equally valued at +1000. Kane select a scoring streak and can readily find hot. Winning groups have a tendency to score more, and this can help the Chicago winger once the season gets to a grind round the all-star break. Tavares, on the other hand, might be the most popular player in the NHL not termed Stamkos. He’s scored nine goals in his last five games and if he keeps this pace up, he will be one of those front-runners for the Hart Trophy.
