MacKinnon's Milestone Night Lifts Avs to OT Win in San Jose

Colorado starts the trip with an OT win and a milestone evening for Nathan MacKinnon

One hundred points… in style.

Nathan MacKinnon punctuated Colorado’s playoff-clinching 4-3 win in San Jose with the overtime goal for his first 100-point season. Getting to overtime was enough to clinch a playoff berth, but the extra point from the milestone marker pushed Colorado into first place in the Central Division for the first time since the final day of last year’s regular season.

For MacKinnon, finally reaching the century mark has to be a relief as he’s come so close in the last five-plus seasons only to have something happen that caused him to fall just short. The biggest knock on MacKinnon’s stellar career is now gone as he has amassed those 100 points in just 65 games for a truly impressive 1.54 points per game this season.

And there are still six games remaining.
