This is McDavid's sixth career Art Ross Trophy win, which ties Mario Lemieux for the second-most in NHL history. Wayne Gretzky has the most with 10.

Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy Winner: Nathan MacKinnon

MacKinnon earned his first-career Rocket Richard Trophy, with 53 goals. He ended his season with 74 assists and 127 points in 80 games.

The 30-year-old center finished with two more goals than Montreal Canadiens right winger Cole Caufield (51) and McDavid (48). The Dallas Stars' Wyatt Johnston and Minnesota Wild's Kirill Kaprizov round out the top five with 45 goals each.

MacKinnon becomes the second Avalanche player to win the Rocket Richard Trophy. The first one was Milan Hejduk in 2002-03.

Last year's winner was Edmonton Oilers' Leon Draisaitl, who scored 52 goals in 71 games in 2024-25.

William M. Jennings Trophy Winners: Scott Wedgewood And Mackenzie Blackwood

On top of the team's Presidents' Trophy and MacKinnon's Rocket Richard Trophy, the Avalanche's goaltenders added to the hardware.

Wedgewood and Blackwood claim the Jennings Trophy because the Avalanche finished the season with the fewest goals against in the NHL, with 203, including shootout-deciders.

Wedgewood, 33, played the most of the two goalies, featuring in 45 contests. He registered a 2.02 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage.

Blackwood, 29, played 39 games, recording a 2.51 GAA and a .904 SP.

The last goalie to win this award with the Avalanche was Patrick Roy in 2002.
