NHL MVP Odds To Win Hart Trophy 2023-2024

Hockey is back in full swing, and NHL odds have already seen massive movement with Auston Matthews' odds rising to as high as +650.

Connor McDavid is still the favorite to bring home the MVP, but Auston Matthews has gained some ground after posting back-to-back hat tricks to start the season. Whether or not he can keep up that pace is unclear, but for now, it's still No. 97's award to lose according to bookmakers.

Latest NHL MVP odds update

10/17/2023: Well things have gotten a little interesting, with Auston Matthews jumping to +650 at FanDuel. AM34 potted six goals in his first two games before putting up nothing against Chicago, but he couldn't have asked for a better start if he wants to catch Connor McDavid. The rest of the board has stayed mainly the same with McJesus still heavily favored, but time will tell how much Matthews can make the Oilers' captain sweat.

Understanding NHL MVP 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:

  • Connor McDavid -400

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

  • Nathan MacKinnon +650

Here, a bettor stood to profit $650 for every $100 wagered. 

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.
