The pass by Nathan MacKinnon was instrumental in the win against the Bruins. Toronto forward William Nylander has signed a contract for life with the Maple Leafs. Boston captain Brad Marchand is already the fifth most productive man in the organization’s history.

MacKinnon continues to score points on home ice

The Colorado Avalanche vs. Boston Bruins (4:3) went to a shootout. Valeri Nichushkin secured the extra point for the Avalanche. Colorado’s first goal was scored by forward Nathan MacKinnon and tied the score at (1:1).

MacKinnon scored for the 22nd straight home game. He scored a total of 45 points on 16 goals and 29 assists. He is just one home game away from tying the club record set by legend Joe Sakic. He accomplished the feat in 23 straight home games.

It was the 66th point of the season for the Colorado forward and he is still one point behind productivity leader Nikita Kucherov for second place in scoring. Another 10 points back are Artemi Panarin of the Rangers and David Pastrnak of the Bruins, who also recorded one assist in tonight’s game.

Marchand jumps in Bruins historical scoring

The Bruins captain scored two goals again in the game against Colorado and is already almost at the level of points per game this season. He is Boston’s second-best player behind the sovereign Pastrnak. Today’s two goals marked his 898th and 899th career points for the Boston team. He scored 389 goals and had 510 assists. He has already jumped to fifth place in the Bruins’ historical scoring ahead of legend Rick Middleton.

Only legends Ray Borque (1,506 points), Johnny Bucyk (1,339), Patrice Bergeron (1,040) and cannonballer Phil Esposito (1,012) are ahead of him. By the way, David Krejci is the club’s so-called “Original Six” in ninth position with 786 points. In the near future, David Pastrnak will definitely break into the top ten.

William Nylander signed with Toronto for 8 years

Swedish William Nylander, who plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs, signed a new contract for 8 years. It is the highest contract in the club’s history. On average, he will earn $11.5 million per year under the improved terms. Until now, no one in the history of this organization has signed a $92 million contract.

Nylander is currently the league’s fifth most productive player with 54 points in 37 games played for 21 goals scored and 33 assists. He has already broken the 40-goal mark last season while also attacking the 9-point mark for the season. The Maple Leafs have secured the quartet of Auston Matthews, John Tavares, Mitchell Marner and Nylander for at least another season.
