Leaders lead by example, and that’s exactly what Nathan MacKinnon did to spark a Game 3 landslide victory for the Colorado Avalanche at home to the Calgary Flames. MacKinnon’s two power play goals in the first period laid the foundation for the Avalanche to score four more goals enroute to a 6-2 win. Rookie playing in his first-ever NHL game, Cale Makar, scored his first career goal on his first career shot in the first period, the goal ended up being the game-winner on the night.
The Avalanche also made history in the game.
