Which NHL trophy is awarded to the regular-season goal-scoring leader?

The NHL trophy awarded to the regular-season goal-scoring leader is the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy.

The trophy recognizes the player who scores the most goals during the NHL regular season; playoff goals do not count. It was donated to the league by the Montreal Canadiens and first awarded after the 1998–99 season.

The award honors Maurice “Rocket” Richard, the legendary Canadiens right winger. Richard was the first NHL player to score 50 goals in one season and the first to reach 500 career goals. He led the league in goal scoring five times during his career.

Unlike the Art Ross Trophy, which goes to the regular-season points leader, the Richard Trophy measures goals only. There is also no formal tiebreaker: if players finish tied for the goal-scoring lead, they share the trophy. That has happened several times, including a three-way tie in 2003–04.
