Nikita Kucherov is the clear favorite for the Art Ross Trophy

[Felidae]

Kucherov just tied Mackinnon in points , quite a bit of time left in the 3rd period.

find it hilarious Kucherov had next to no votes compared to Mackinnon and McDavid when the latest "who will win the art Ross" was created.

WHO will win the Art Ross (most points in regular season)

Atm MacKinnon with 109, Kucherov 105, McDavid 99 MacKinnon with 18 games left, Kucherov 19, McDavid 22

Can both McDavid and Kucherov get 100 assists this year?

Kucherov would need 23 in like 15 games. That's unlikely.

 

[Sky04]

Tied Mackinnon again with 8 points in the last 2 games, still time left in this one to take the lead.

A poll isn't a proxy for probability.

Unlikely but not impossible. I’m not putting anything past the top 3 this year

 

[The Macho King]

4 point night and lead from Kucherov.

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

damn gotta give it to Kuch he pounces every time the net is empty. That's 3 games in an row with an ENG. Takes the lead with a game in hand as well

 

[The Macho King]

Well Vegas is challenging it but seems like a hail mary. Think it will stand.

My forecasting model gives the following probabilities of each player winning the Art Ross, as of today:

• MacKinnon: 54%
• McDavid: 37%
• Kucherov: 17%
• Pastrnak: <1%

MacKinnon, McDavid and Kucherov are all virtually certain to reach 120 points (barring injury). Pastrnak has about a 6% chance.

Probability of reaching 130 points:

• MacKinnon: 91%
• McDavid: 80%
• Kucherov: 64%
• Pastrnak: <1%

Probability of reaching 140 points:

• MacKinnon: 26%
• McDavid: 18%
• Kucherov: 6%
• Pastrnak: <1%

MacKinnon and McDavid both have about a 1% chance of reaching 150 points.

An update after tonight's games:

• Kucherov: 55% (previously: 17%)
• MacKinnon: 32% (previously: 54%)
• McDavid: 22% (previously: 37%)
• Pastrnak: <1% (no change)

A lot has changed since I last posted ten days ago. Kucherov is now the favourite for the Art Ross trophy. He's scored 11 points in the past three games. MacKinnon and McDavid have both played well objectively, but have lost ground relative to the Bolt.

Kucherov, MacKinnon and McDavid are all virtually certain to reach 120 points (barring injury). Pastrnak has about a 7% chance (previously: 6%).

Probability of reaching 130 points:

• Kucherov: 98% (previously: 64%)
• MacKinnon: 93% (previously: 91%)
• McDavid: 82% (previously: 80%)
• Pastrnak: <1% (no change)

Probability of reaching 140 points:

• Kucherov: 38% (previously: 6%)
• MacKinnon: 22% (previously: 26%)
• McDavid: 16% (previously: 18%)
• Pastrnak: <1% (no change)

Kucherov has about a 1% chance of reaching 150 points (previously: MacKinnon and McDavid each had about a 1% chance).

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

it's incredible how easy Kucherov always makes it look

guy is winning a scoring title and seemingly never even needs to dodge a check to do it

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

Is there anywhere you can look up empty net stats? Feels like Kuch has at least 10 pts on the empty net this year.

Kudos to him though, they all count

 

[Sky04]

Can both McDavid and Kucherov get 100 assists this year?

Reaching 90 assists and taking sole lead of most assists ever by a winger wouldn't be too shabby.

 

[crowfish]

Kucherov up to 10 empty net points on the year lol

 

[SharksCyclops]

They play the Sharks next, wouldn't be surprised if Kuch gets another 4-5 points easy in that game alone.

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

Kucherov up to 10 empty net points on the year lol

And Mack has 7

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

Sharks and ducks in the next 3 games - the two teams allowing the most goals.

Avs get Columbus, but they have 13 games remaining vs 14. One thing to note is that 9 of the last 13 avs games are at home, and MacKinnon has had much better stats at home this season.

However, its an uphill battle for MacKinnon at this point for the AR

His lead over teammates is nuts. It’s like the opposite of the panthers, where team talent boosts stats across the board.

Absolute prick, of course, but he’s even smooth in his dirtiness. Dude just thinks the game at a very high level and has the hands to match.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Both MacKinnon and McDavid have infinitely better hockey tools than Kucherov, and he's somehow on par with them...

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

This changed as the season went along. MacKinnon deserves it a bit more. Plays center and actually plays some defense too. The guy ison the scoresheet pretty much every game. He's playing at an insane pace right now too. MacKinnon has to edge this out if it holds up for the rest of the season.

The brain is a tool too.

Yeah, but MacKinnon and McDavid aren't dumb too...

He's a poor mans gretzky, between the passing, stickhandling, his shot and his f***ing IQ. It's just satisfying to watch him on a night to night basis lol

Technically he's ahead of them
