Nathan MacKinnon joins Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg as third Avalanche player to win Hart Trophy. Here’s how his campaign stacks up with those legends’ seasons.

A look at the MVP sea­sons of the three Col­orado Avalanche play­ers to claim the Hart Tro­phy in fran­chise history:

Col­orado Avalanche’s Joe Sakic kiss­es the Stan­ley Cup as he stands over the Hart Tro­phy, right, and the Lady Byng Tro­phy after win­ning both at the NHL awards in Toron­to Thurs­day June 14, 2001.

Sea­son: 2000-01

Num­bers: 118 points (54 goals/64 assists), plus-45 plus/minus, 12 game-win­ning goals

Note: In a sea­son that saw the Avs claim the President’s Tro­phy with 118 points, Sakic led the league in plus/minus, game-win­ning goals, point shares (15.9) and goals cre­at­ed (45.9) en route to claim­ing the Hart, Ted Lind­say (then Pear­son) and Lady Byng tro­phies. Sakic was both sec­ond in goals and points in the NHL and fin­ished just behind New Jersey’s John Mad­den in the Selke Tro­phy vot­ing. Super Joe got his revenge in the Stan­ley Cup Final, as the Avs beat Madden’s Dev­ils in sev­en games.

Peter Forsberg

Sea­son: 2002-03

Num­bers: 106 points (29 goals/77 assists), plus-52 plus/minus, 1.41 points per game

Note: Despite being the only one of the three Col­orado MVPs to claim the Art Ross Tro­phy as the NHL points leader, Fors­berg was the only one of the three to not sweep the MVP awards. While the Swede took home the Hart Tro­phy, Van­cou­ver winger Markus Näs­lund was the one who walked away with the Lind­say Award (then Pear­son). Still, Fors­berg fin­ished tops in the league in assists for a team that was ulti­mate­ly upset in the first round of the Stan­ley Cup Play­offs by Minnesota.

Sea­son: 2023–24

Num­bers: 140 points (51 goals, 89 assists), plus-35 plus/minus, 405 shots on goal, 187 total goals on ice for

Break­down: After fin­ish­ing sec­ond in the Hart Tro­phy twice, MacK­in­non final­ly claimed the award with a his­toric sea­son that saw him estab­lish new sin­gle-sea­son fran­chise records for points, shots on goal, goals cre­at­ed (51.1), point shares (16.0) and total goals on ice for. In addi­tion, he set a new fran­chise record with a 35-game home point streak — sec­ond longest in NHL his­to­ry behind Wayne Gret­zky — and became the first Avs play­er to score four goals in a game, and he did it twice.
