  • Lane Hutson possesses a two point lead over Macklin Celebrini on the rookie points leaderboard

  • Hutson has closed the gap between him and Celebrini on the Calder Memorial Trophy oddsboard

  • The San Jose Sharks' offense ranks 29th overall in Expected Goals For in All Situations

Even though Macklin Celebrini averages more points per game than Lane Hutson, the San Jose Sharks rookie has been unable to leap over him in the rookie points leaderboard. His surrounding cast has done him no favors in his efforts of generating points as the San Jose Sharks offense ranks 29th overall in Expected Goals For in All Situations.

With Lane Hutson still leading all rookies in total points, he has seen his odds to win the Calder Memorial Trophy steadily grow over the past few weeks of play. Even though Hutson only averages 0.08 Expected Goals, the Montreal Canadiens rookie has been able to hold on to his lead in total points by averaging 0.70 assists per game.

NHL Calder Trophy Predictions and Odds

Calder Memorial Trophy Predictions and Favorites to Win 

Plenty of future stars sit at the top of the oddsboard for the Calder Memorial Trophy this year, potentially creating an exciting race until the very end for the prestigious award.

Macklin Celebrini

After having to miss some time at the start of the season, the San Jose Sharks Macklin Celebrini has managed to claw his way back up to the top of the rookie points leaderboard by leading the field in average points per game. Now that he is just two points back from Lane Hutson in total points, it’s only a matter of time before he leaps over the Canadiens rookie and strengthens his position for the Calder Memorial Trophy.

In order for Celebrini to leap over Hutson, he will need to continue to excel at creating high quality Shots on Goal as his underwhelming surrounding cast of linemates makes it tough for him to generate assists. If you managed to bet on Celebrini to win the award at a more favorable number earlier in the year, then consider hedging your wager as regression looms large over his current rate of points.

Lane Hutson

With less than 30 games remaining in the regular season, oddsmakers believe the race for the Calder Memorial Trophy is down to just Macklin Celebrini and Lane Hutson. Even though Hutson has the edge over Celebrini in total points as of writing, oddsmakers believe the San Jose Sharks rookie is in a better position to win the award as he possesses a higher average in points per game.

Hutson’s ability to generate points are handicapped due to his inability to create high quality scoring opportunities as the Canadiens rookie averages just 0.08 Expected Goals and 1.15 Shots on Goal per game. Especially with Montreal’s front line as a whole severely underwhelming as their offense ranks 27th overall in Expected Goals For in All Situations with an average of 2.84 Expected Goals per game.

Dustin Wolf

With Matvei Michkov going through a prolonged cold stretch of play, that has given the Calgary Flames Dustin Wolf the opportunity to climb up the oddsboard. Wolf has been instrumental in Calgary’s success this season as the Flames rookie is ranked top-20 of all qualified goalies in average Goals Against per game while generating a Save Percentage of .914.

His play in net is even more impressive when you factor in how poor his back line has played as the Flames defense ranks 21st overall in Expected Goals Against in All Situations with an average of 3.14 Expected Goals Against per game. Even though he has been able to average just 2.58 Goals Against per game this season, negative regression will continue to loom large while having to wall off a high amount of Shots on Goal on a nightly basis.

Matvei Michkov

As previously mentioned, Matvei Michkov is going through a prolonged stretch of play as the Philadelphia Flyers rookie has only generated five points in his last 17 games. To salvage his hopes of winning the Calder Memorial Trophy after sitting at the top of the oddsboard earlier in the year, Michkov will need to drastically elevate his level of play as he possesses a lower average in points per game than Lane Hutson and Macklin Celebrini.

Fortunately for Michkov, his offense puts him in a favorable position to round back into form and generate assists as Philadelphia ranks above league average in Expected Goals For in All Situations and in 5-on-5 Play. With Michkov also averaging 0.24 Expected Goals per game, the Flyers rookie makes for an intriguing long shot as his versatility gives him the ability to rack up points in a flash to help close the gap between him and the top two contenders in total points.

Who Will Win the Calder Memorial Trophy - My Pick 

Logan Stankoven

Speaking of prolonged cold stretches of play, the Dallas Stars rookie Logan Stankoven has been in a slump since November 23rd as he has only generated 10 points in his last 33 games. During his slump, the other top contenders have been able to pad their lead at the top of the rookie points leaderboard which lessens the chance of Stankoven being able close the gap between them before the end of the regular season.

While his chances of winning the Calder Memorial Trophy are slim to none as his current odds imply, Stankoven will still play a key role in the Dallas Stars ability to make a run in the playoffs and compete for the Stanley Cup. With Stankoven averaging more than 0.25 Expected Goals per game, his playmaking helps spread out opposing back lines which creates higher quality shooting lanes for his teammates to exploit.
