The 2025 winner of the Art Ross Trophy for the most points scored goes to Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Nikita amassed 121 points (37 goals, 84 assists).
This is the 2nd consecutive Ross trophy for Kucherov and his 3 overall, winning his first in 2019.
Mario Lemieux (Pittsburgh Penguins) scored his 1000th career point in his 513th game. He was the second fastest player in the NHL to record 1000 points.
Mario finished the season with 131 points and won the Art Ross Trophy. He would lead the Penguins to their 2nd straight Stanley Cup championship and win the Conn Smythe trophy as the playoff MVP.
1995 - Jaromir Jagr of the Pittsburgh Penguins wins the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading scorer for the regular season. Jagr was tied with Philadelphia's Eric Lindros with 70 points for the lock out season, but won the tie breaker with the most goals, 32 to 29.
Jagr was the first European born player to lead the NHL in scoring and win the Art Ross Trophy.
For 14 years he was the face of the Tampa Bay Lightning, helping guide them to a Stanley Cup championship in 2004 and winning the Hart Trophy and Art Ross trophy in the process, Martin St.Louis left his mark and built a legacy of winning in Tampa Bay.
He is a 3 time winner of the Lady Byng trophy as the NHL's most gentlemanly player and a 2 time Art Ross trophy winner as the regular season's league point scorer, but his legend was made in 2004. Leading a little hearlded Lightning team to the Stanley cup final against a Calgary Flames team that was carrying the hopes of a nation, he scored the double OT winner goal in game six to force a game 7 back in Tampa. In that Game 7 the Lightning held on for 2-1 win for their first Stanley Cup championship.
After being traded in 2013-2014 season to the NY Rangers, he picked up where he left off and with some tremendous goal tending, drove the Rangers to the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals and again to the Eastern Conference finals. This time he met his former team from Tampa and they battled 7 games before the Lightning closed the door.
Martin also made his world hockey career a success by playing for Team Canada and winning the gold medal at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and the 2014 Olympic gold medal.
In announcing his retirement today, we should only have to wait the minimum 5 years to see the name of Martin St. Louis grace the Hockey Hall of Fame class of 2020.
His regular season totals in the NHL :
1,134 games played
391 goals
642 assist
1,033 points
310 penalty minutes
1 Stanley Cup - 2004
1 Hart Trophy - 2004
2 Art Ross Trophies - 2004,2013
3 Lady Byng Trophies - 2010,2011,2013
6 All star Games
Plus/Minus Award - 2004
Lester B Pearson award - 2004
Enjoy retirement Martin, you deserve some rest and all the accolades you should be getting.
