VIDEO: MacKinnon breaks the 100-point mark for the second time this season with this goal

The Colorado Avalanche won 5: 0 against the Chicago Blackhawks and two points were scored by the second most productive player in the competition, Canadian Nathan MacKinnon, who became the second player in the season to reach the 100-point mark.

MacKinnon scored his 36th goal of the season

The Colorado forward saved this goal for late in the game. His 36th goal of the season sealed the Avalanche’s victory in Chicago. Czech goalie Petr Mrazek played the whole game for the home team. He had 28 saves, but he cashed in five times.

MacKinnon broke the 100-point mark for the second time in his career

The Canadian forward first assisted on a power-play goal by Ross Colton. Veteran Zach Parise also had an assist. And the Avalanche were up by two goals over toothless Chicago at that point. It was MacKinnon’s 99th point of the season.

But Nathan MacKinnon saved his treat of a beautiful goal until 57:32, when he beat the lone Czech goalie Petr Mrazek, who was not helped by the defense in this game, after a pass from Cale Makar. The Canadian scored his 5th goal of the game.

It was MacKinnon’s 36th shot of the season and his 64th assist of the season, bringing his season total to 100 points. He was the second player to do so. So far, the scoring leader Nikita Kucherov, who has 4 more points, has done it.

the Canadian hockey player managed to break the 100-point mark for the second time in his career and for the second season in a row. And he still has enough games left to surpass his 111 points from last year. He still has 21 regular season games to beat that mark.

The hot candidate for the Hart Trophy?

This great hockey player, who will probably break the 1,000-point mark in the NHL within two years and is currently at 859 points, has only one individual trophy in his collection. In his debut season, he won the trophy for the best rookie of the season, scoring 63 points in 82 games.

During his career, he has reached the final three three for one of the most valuable individual trophies in the NHL (Hart Trophy) three times. This award is given annually to the MVP of the season. However, MacKinnon has always found an overcomer.

This season, it might already be working out. For more than half of the season he has been in a tug of war with Kucherov for the lead in points. But he still has to worry about whether he will make the playoffs with his team.
