Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Two apples in loss

MacKinnon picked up two assists in Wednesday's 8-4 loss against Vegas.

MacKinnon fired four shots on net and went minus-2 in 21:33 of ice time Wednesday. The superstar center is coming off his most productive season in the NHL -- he racked up 140 points while skating in all 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. MacKinnon's role and usage is like few other players in the league, so if you have the three-time All-Star, enjoy the ride.
