Connor Hellebuyck, Leon Draisaitl, and Nikita Kucherov are the Hart Trophy finalists ahead of the annual NHL awards show.

Hellebuyck was the slight Hart Trophy odds favorite ahead of Draisaitl down the stretch at our best NHL betting sites, with the latter missing a stretch due to an injury. Kucherov ended the season on a torrid pace and finished as the Art Ross Trophy winner with 121 points.

🏆 Hart Trophy favorites 2025

✈️ Connor Hellebuyck Hart Trophy odds (+110)

The Vezina Trophy odds shoo-in deservedly closed as the Hart Trophy odds favorite. He led most statistical categories, including wins, save percentage, goals-against average, and goals saved above expected.

For me, there's no person more important to his team. Hellebuyck gave himself the best possible chance to win the award. I've backed him since the start of the season, and I hope anyone who tailed the pick way back when is rewarded.

If he wins, he'll become the first goaltender to do so in 10 years.

🇩🇪 Leon Draisaitl Hart Trophy odds (+120)

Draisaitl, who was sensational this season, is the driving force in Alberta's capital. However, his injuries over the last couple of weeks impacted his momentum. The time out also impacted his Hart Trophy odds down the stretch.

The Oilers' power forward won the Rocket Richard Trophy for the most goals (52) despite missing 11 games.

📖 How to read Hart Trophy futures odds

Reading Hart Trophy odds is straightforward. Odds are usually presented in a format like +500 or -200. Positive odds (e.g., +500) show how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet.

For example, a $100 bet at +500 odds would win you $500, plus your original $100 stake, totaling $600. Negative odds (e.g., -200) indicate how much you need to bet to win $100. So, a $200 bet at -200 odds would win you $100, plus your $200 stake, totaling $300.

These odds also reflect the probability of a team winning the championship. Lower odds (e.g., +300) suggest a higher likelihood, while higher odds (e.g., +2000) indicate a lower probability.

Sportsbooks adjust these odds based on performance, injuries, trades, and betting patterns.
