Alexander Ovechkin dominated the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy for nearly 15 years, winning the award for the NHL’s top goalscorer nine times from 2007-08 through 2018-19.
Now it’s Auston Matthews looking to continue his recent dominance with a third straight win, though Connor McDavid is currently the heavy favorite.
