No player has won the Hart Trophy in back-to-back seasons since Alex Ovechkin won the NHL MVP award in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
With training camp and the 2018-19 season just around the corner, oddsmakers say Devils forward Taylor Hall isn't the favorite to break that trend.
Bovada released its 2018-19 NHL MVP odds, and Hall came in at 15/1 -- tied for sixth best among players listed.
Hall became the first Devils player to win the Hart Trophy following a career season in 2017-18, where he posted 39 goals, 54 assists and 93 points.
