Recap: Avs beat Sharks, clinch playoff spot

Nathan MacKinnon, 100-point scorer.

The Dogg finally crossed a huge achievement off his list with two goals and an assist in the Colorado Avalanche’s 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks. It was closer than some may have hoped after blowing a 3-1 lead in the third period.

The Game

Colorado looked like their usual dominant selves out of the gate in San Jose. It was only reflected further when Jack Johnson scored his second goal of the season on a deflection past Kappo Kahkonen.

With a 1-0 lead, the Avs didn’t stop pushing.
