Top Nathan MacKinnon News

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Rattles off four points in win

    MacKinnon scored a power-play goal on nine shots, added three assists and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

    MacKinnon had his highest single-game point total of the season with this performance. It's his sixth multi-point effort in eight contests, and the superstar center is at six goals and 10 assists so far. He's netted two of his goals with the man advantage. MacKinnon also has 38 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating while leading the way for the Avalanche's offense.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Earns pair of assists

    MacKinnon notched two assists, two shots on goal, five PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

    MacKinnon set up goals by Artturi Lehkonen and Martin Necas. MacKinnon also fought Roope Hintz, with both players coming out of the heated bout a little worse for wear, though they each finished the contest. MacKinnon has five goals, seven assists, 25 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating over six appearances this season. The two teams have a rematch Wednesday, so things could get a little spicy on the ice once again, and MacKinnon has shown no hesitation to be in the middle of it.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Tickles twine twice

    MacKinnon scored twice Saturday in a 6-3 loss to Toronto. He fired eight shots.

    He ripped both goals in a 4:28 span of the first period to put the Avs up 2-1. MacKinnon has 10 points, including five goals, and 23 shots in five games. The pace is almost impossible to maintain, but Mack should easily top the century mark like he has the last four seasons. MacKinnon sits in a tie with Auston Matthews for fifth in NHL scoring, behind Connor McDavid (13), Evan Bouchard and Jack Eichel (12) and William Nylander (11).

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Collects three points in win

    MacKinnon scored a goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flames.

    MacKinnon was held off the scoresheet Wednesday in Winnipeg, but he wasted no time in bouncing back. This was his third multi-point effort of the year. The superstar center has compiled three goals, five assists, 15 shots on net, two hits and a plus-1 rating across four outings in his usual top-line role.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Distributes three assists in win

    MacKinnon registered three assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

    After showing off his scoring skills with two goals in the season opener, MacKinnon demonstrated some playmaking in this contest. He's added 12 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through two appearances. He won't put up multiple points every game, but that's something he did in 42 of his 80 regular-season outings last year, which makes him as close to a sure thing as there is in fantasy hockey.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: In fine form for opener

    MacKinnon scored twice on eight shots, added five PIM, logged two hits and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Kings.

    MacKinnon was slinging the puck in midseason form, and one of his two goals came on the power play. He also fought Brandt Clarke in the third period as the game got contentious. MacKinnon won't be a steady source of grit, but fantasy managers had him in contention for the No. 1 pick because of his elite scoring skills. He's coming off a career-high 53 goals in the regular season last year, and he added 74 assists and 350 shots on net. He's one of a handful of players who can regularly come anywhere near those marks on a yearly basis.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Set to make preseason debut Friday

    MacKinnon will make his first and only preseason appearance Friday against the Jets, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

    MacKinnon didn't appear in Colorado's first two preseason games, but he'll suit up Friday before sitting again Saturday against the Mammoth. Despite his limited appearances during the preseason, the 31-year-old is healthy ahead of the regular season and is in line for a massive workload once again after he recorded 53 goals, 74 assists, 64 hits, 39 PIM and 35 blocked shots while averaging 22:16 of ice time across 80 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Good to go for Game 4

    MacKinnon (lower body) will play against Vegas on Tuesday in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

    MacKinnon had one assist, five shots on net, two hits and one blocked shot in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Vegas in Game 3. He sustained the injury in the second period of Sunday's defeat, but he managed to stay in the game. Even though he probably isn't fully healthy, he could still make an impact. Colorado needs to win in Game 4 to stay alive in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Still being evaluated

    MacKinnon (lower body) is undergoing evaluations and treatments, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette on Monday.

    MacKinnon sustained the injury in the second period of Sunday's 5-3 loss to Vegas in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Despite clearly not being fully healthy, he managed to finish the game. It's unclear if he will play in Tuesday's must-win matchup, but an update on his status could come during Colorado's pregame media availability. The Avalanche face a challenging situation with a 3-0 series deficit, and MacKinnon's injury may further impede their chances of a comeback.

  • Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Plays through injury in final frame

    MacKinnon (lower body) played sparingly in the third period of Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals after blocking a shot in the middle frame, and there was no update on his status after the game, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

    MacKinnon was injured after blocking a one-timer from Shea Theodore in the middle frame. The 30-year-old MacKinnon did not come out for the start of the third period, but he eventually came back into the game, albeit with a noticeable limp, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports. The right-shot center played only four shifts during the third period, according to the NHL media site. While it would be surprising to see MacKinnon sit out Game 4 on Tuesday with the Avalanche on the brink of elimination, he should be considered day-to-day for now.
