The Morning After: Three stars, five takeaways from the Colorado Avalanche’s victory over Detroit

Big Sunday at the sold-out PC, where the Avalanche never trailed in a 5-1 victory over Detroit. Given the score and the circumstance, our game story is all about Nathan MacKinnon and his Hart Trophy candidacy.

The notebook leads with Erik Johnson‘s return from a 13-game injury absence.

THREE STARS

  1. Nathan MacKinnon. Two goals, three points and 11 shots for the Hart Trophy candidate.
  2. Gabe Landeskog. Goal and two assists for the Avalanche left wing and team captain.
  3. Semyon Varlamov.
