There were five minutes left in the Colorado Avalanche’s season. That was all they needed. Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen produced one of those shifts Avalanche fans have to come to expect. The dominant ones that define the game. The kind that have been sporadic throughout the series.
They relentlessly controlled the puck in the single most important shift in the Avalanche’s season, and all three got points on the game tying goal. Nathan MacKinnon reminded everyone that he’s the best player in the world, by dissecting the President’s Trophy winners and making it look easy.
