However we try to slice it up, this recent run of form from Nathan MacKinnon is as statistically dominant as he’s ever been in a Colorado Avalanche uniform.
MacKinnon enters Saturday night’s game against the Coyotes in the midst of a career-best 17-game point streak, which is also three back of tying the best mark in franchise history since moving to Denver.
Avs coach Jared Bednar sidestepped a question late Thursday night about whether MacKinnon is the best hockey player in the world right now after he had four goals and an assist in a dramatic 6-4 victory against Ottawa.
