Quick hitters from the Avalanche’s 5-2 Game 4 win at St. Louis on Sunday:
MacKinnon line factors in two goals
Avalanche star center Nathan MacKinnon was pointless in Game 3 and his wingers, Gabe Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen, were also quiet with just an assist apiece. But the line was again flying in its familiar fashion in Game 4, producing three of the club’s final four goals. Landeskog, from the goalmouth, made it 2-1 with a redirection off defenseman Sam Girard’s wrist shot from the point. Rantanen fed Girard up top after taking a pass from MacKinnon.
