When Nathan MacKinnon is flying through the neutral zone with speed, he is arguably the most terrifying sight in professional hockey. The Colorado Avalanche superstar was at the peak of his powers this evening, utilizing his explosive skating and lethal wrist shot to score two brilliant goals and secure a critical victory for his team.
An Unstoppable Force
MacKinnon’s first goal was a masterpiece of individual effort. He picked up the puck behind his own net, navigated through three forecheckers, and split the opposing defense before going top shelf. It was the kind of highlight-reel play that proves why he is consistently in the conversation for the Hart Trophy. When he plays with this level of intensity, the Avalanche are virtually unbeatable.
