DENVER -- Forty-three seconds. That is how long it took Nathan MacKinnon to score the goal that extended his home points streak to 35 games.
The fact he scored that quickly is a reflection of how MacKinnon is a perpetual threat. That he had a point in every home game entering the March 26 contest with the Montreal Canadiens while simultaneously leading the NHL in points is another way to measure what has made the Colorado Avalanche's superstar center so indomitable this season.
Yet it was the way he scored the goal that offers insight into why this season has been the best and most consistently productive campaign of his 11-year career.
