Recap: Nathan MacKinnon makes history, Wedgewood shines in 3-0 shutout over Blackhawks

It was a night to remember for Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche.

MacKinnon became the 100th player in NHL history to secure his 1,000th career point, and the Avalanche completed a perfect six-game homestand with a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks Monday evening at Ball Arena. Scott Wedgewood was also brilliant in net with his second shutout of the season and the eighth of his career in a 22-save performance.

Artturi Lehkonen scored the game-winning goal, while Martin Neu010das and Joel Kiviranta each scored for the Avalanche.

It was also the first game for perennial Av Erik Johnson since he returned to the club in a trade just before the deadline Friday.
