Nathan MacKinnon has matched Joe Sakic as the greatest scorers in Colorado Avalanche franchise history since the club moved to Denver.
MacKinnon had the primary assist on Colorado’s first goal Tuesday night at Ball Arena against the Vegas Golden Knights. That gives him 1,015 points in 870 career games. Joe Sakic also had 1,015 points in 870 games for the Avalanche after the franchise moved to Denver for the start of the 2015-16 season.
The assist also gives MacKinnon 116 points this season, which equals the career high for Avs legend Peter Forsberg.
