Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Assists game-winner in OT
Rotowire
MacKinnon tallied an assist on Sunday's game-winning goal in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Stars.
MacKinnon connected with Cale Makar just 34 seconds into the extra period to give Colorado a much-needed win against one of its division rivals. The 29-year-old MacKinnon is up to 76 assists, 103 points and 274 shots on net in 68 games this season. His helper Sunday ended a two-game skid without a point. Regardless, he has been on fire since the start of February with 23 points in his last 13 games and is only one of two players to pass the 100-point mark this year. This year is the third time he's tallied over the century mark in points and will likely result in him being nominated for the Hart Trophy once again. If he can carry out his offensive momentum for the rest of the season, he will not only have a good shot to win the MVP trophy for the second consecutive year, but he'll also be a potential league-winner in all fantasy formats.

Rotowire
MacKinnon scored twice on eight shots, added three assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.

Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: 4 Nations chemistry with Crosby
Rotowire
MacKinnon scored a power-play goal in Canada's 4-3 overtime win over Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Wednesday.
The goal came in the first minute of play on a blind, backhand spin-a-rama pass from fellow Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia superstar, Sidney Crosby. Sid and Nate spend their summers together training, so all those reps mean the two click without even looking for each other on the ice. MacKinnon was also a bull in overtime, powering in multiple times and pounding Filip Gustavsson with big shots into his body. That kind of play wears down the opposition. MacKinnon is playing a regular shift with Crosby and Mitch Marner, so this tourney is going to be electric with that level of talent.

Rotowire
MacKinnon netted a power-play marker on four shots in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Flyers.
MacKinnon has banked a goal and four helpers during his four-game point streak. This tally was his first in five contests.

The Avalanche struggled to generate much production against Marc-Andre Fleury and the Wild on Monday, but MacKinnon helped the team avoid being shut out by recording the team's lone goal with just over a minute remaining in the second period.
