Even though Cale Makar helped literally push the Colorado Avalanche over the goal line in OT and stole the show with his record-setting 23 shot attempts, he was not the best player in burgundy and blue Thursday night. That title belongs to the heart and soul of the Avalanche and who Makar said after Game 2 is “probably the best player in the world” — Nathan Mackinnon.
MacKinnon was all over the ice last night, as best demonstrated by his event map as detailed by Natural Stat Trick.
