It was another late night affair on national tv with the Boston Bruins in town. The Colorado Avalanche rallied from a two-goal third period deficit to extend their incredible win streak at home to 17 consecutive games and eighth straight in a 4-3 overtime victory and close out the first half of the regular season at the top of the league standings with 63 points.
The Game
This contest was marred from the start with Nathan MacKinnon going down to another questionable blow to the head just two minutes into the game. Taylor Hall went in to deliver the clip crossbody hit and MacKinnon who was holding his stick up high got it caught in the collateral damage as it went right into his nose.
