MacKinnon notched a pair of power-play assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon has gotten on the scoresheet in all four games this season, including three multi-point performances, despite the Avalanche's 0-4-0 start. The center has a goal, six helpers, 13 shots on net, five hits and a minus-6 rating. He's got the talent to put the offense on his back even as injuries mount for the team, but the Avalanche's defensive woes have so far been too much for MacKinnon to overcome. He'll remain an elite source of points and shots throughout the campaign.
