Avalanche visit the Blue Jackets following MacKinnon's 2-goal showing
The Colorado Avalanche visit the Columbus Blue Jackets after Nathan MacKinnon scored two goals in the Avalanche's 7-4 win against the Nashville PredatorsMARCH 31 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Moves into NHL scoring lead MacKinnon had two goals and two assists Saturday in a 7-4 win over the Predators.
Impact MacKinnon moved into the NHL lead with 127 points, including 80 assists, one ahead of Bolts forward Nikita Kucherov. He also became the third player in Avalanche/Nordiques history to have 80 assists in a season, joining Peter Stastny (twice) and Peter Forsberg (once). And MacKinnon moved into second in franchise history for single-season points behind Stastny (139; 1981-82). His 19-game, 38-point scoring streak was snapped Thursday, but he's right back on the board. And Mack has every chance and the necessary momentum to best Stastny with eight games remaining.

Strikes first in loss MacKinnon scored a goal on four shots and blocked one shot in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Montreal.
Impact MacKinnon put the Avalanche up, 1-0, 43 seconds into the first period, but that was the end of Colorado's offense. And, after the Canadiens scored twice later in the first period, the end of team's nine-game win streak. The tally extended MacKinnon's point streak to 19 games -- his second streak of that length -- and his home point streak to 35 games. The 28-year-old center is uncharted territory with a career-high 123 points.

Sets Avalanche record MacKinnon logged a goal, two assists, six shots on net and one hit in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Colorado's comeback from a 4-0 deficit began with the support cast and was finished by its stars. MacKinnon had a goal and an assist in the third period, helping to set up OT, then had a hand in Jonathan Drouin's winner 54 seconds into the extra period. The three-point night for MacKinnon upped his season total to 122 points, passing Joe Sakic (120) for points scored in a season by a member of the Avalanche. Next up is the franchise record of 139 set by Peter Stastny as a member of the Quebec Nordiques in the 1981-82 season.

Extends streak with assist MacKinnon had an assist, three shots on net, four blocks and one hit in Tuesday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.
Impact MacKinnon won a race to a loose puck, absorbed a hit along the boards, then made the zone entry that resulted in the first of Mikko Rantanen's three tallies. That's vintage MacKinnon. The assist extended his point streak to 16 games, which is his second longest this season. MacKinnon earlier had a 19-game scoring run and also a 14-gamer. He emerged as the leading candidate for the Hart Trophy two months ago and has reinforced that position since. MacKinnon has a career-high 117 points through 69 games.

Two more points Wednesday MacKinnon scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
Impact MacKinnon pulled the Avalanche within one with his third-period tally. In overtime, his shot took a couple of deflections, including off Valeri Nichushkin's visor, before getting in the net. Both of MacKinnon's points came on the power play in this contest. He has 10 goals and 20 assists during his 14-game point streak, earning 10 of those points on the power play. The superstar is up to 42 tallies, 115 points, 324 shots on net and a plus-27 rating through 67 appearances. With one more goal, he'll set a new career high.

Impact MacKinnon's second-period tally ended up being the game-winner. This was his fourth straight multi-point effort and his 10th such game during his 14-game point streak (nine goals, 19 helpers). The 28-year-old also achieved a career year Tuesday -- he's now at 41 goals, 113 points, 321 shots on net, a plus-28 rating, 54 blocked shots and 49 hits through 66 appearances. He needs just two more goals to set a new high mark in that category.
