2023-24 Rocket Richard Odds: Matthews On the Move

Who doesn't love a good ole' fashion goal race? Last season saw not one but two 60-goal scorers with Connor McDavid and David Pastrnak setting the league ablaze.

Fresh off a 64-goal campaign, McDavid opened as the favorite to capture the 2023-24 Maurice Rocket Richard Trophy but has since been surpassed by a certain sniper donned in blue threads and the very man who gave McDavid a run for his money last year.

Big-time scorers sit atop the NHL futures odds board, and we have the full odds breakdown below. Be sure to also check out our Stanley Cup odds page!

Understanding NHL Rocket Richard odds

Most Sportsbooks will display odds in the American format as listed above. When the regular season is nearly finished and a consensus has emerged, you might see a player with a minus sign (-) ahead of his odds, like this:

  • Auston Matthews -400

The (-) means that Matthews is the odds-on favorite, and a bettor would need to wager $400 to win $100. Other contenders in the Rocket Richard race might have plus (+) odds to win.

  • Nathan MacKinnon +650

Here, a bettor stood to profit $650 for every $100 wagered on MacKinnon to lead the league in goals.

If American odds aren't your thing, simply use a tool like our odds converter to switch the odds to decimal or fractional format. Most online sportsbooks also give you the option to change the odds format that you see.
