EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon opened the scoring for the Avs midway through the first period with a wrister that went past Jake Oettinger at the 8:48 mark.

EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon's first goal was on the power play, and it stood as the game-winner. He also added an empty-netter. The superstar center finished second in the regular season with 116 points (32 goals, 84 assists) over 79 appearances, though he missed the last three games of the year with an undisclosed injury. Keeping him fresh for the playoffs was likely part of that decision, and MacKinnon looked pretty healthy in Game 1. He'll play a critical role for the Avalanche during the postseason.

MacKinnon (undisclosed) was back on the first line and No. 1 power-play unit ahead of Game 1 versus St. Louis, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon missed three games with an undisclosed injury that was deemed precautionary and has retaken all of his usual spots in the lineup. Prior to sitting out, the 29-year-old center was riding an eight-game point streak during which he compiled four goals and seven assists, including four power-play points. He'll look to re-establish that momentum following his short absence when the playoffs start up for Colorado on Saturday or Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon missed Thursday's game against the Canucks due to an undisclosed injury, and he was already deemed doubtful for Colorado's final two regular-season games. He'll officially be sidelined for the back-to-back set over the weekend and will shift his focus toward getting healthy ahead of the postseason. The Avalanche have already clinched a playoff berth, so it seems likely that MacKinnon's absence is precautionary, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him return once postseason play begins.

MacKinnon will miss Thursday's clash against Vancouver with an undisclosed injury, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

MacKinnon is also doubtful for the final two games of the season on the weekend, as head coach Jared Bednar stated MacKinnon would "probably not" play. MacKinnon is currently tied with Nikita Kucherov for the NHL lead in points with 116 and is likely to finish second once again to Kucherov in the race for the Art Ross Trophy.

MacKinnon notched a power-play assist and six shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

This was MacKinnon's 1,015th point, matching Joe Sakic's record since the franchise moved from Quebec City to Colorado. Coincidentally, both MacKinnon and Sakic recorded that number of points in 870 games each. It's been a surge for MacKinnon late in 2024-25 -- he has four goals and seven assists during his eight-game point streak, giving him 116 points (38 on the power play), 320 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a plus-25 rating across 79 appearances. He has up to three more chances to add to his totals, and if the Avalanche don't get any injured players back soon, MacKinnon may not have the opportunity to rest before the playoffs.

The 29-year-old superstar is up to 32 goals, 115 points, 314 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 38 hits, 41 PIM and a plus-26 rating through 78 appearances. Even with just four games left on the regular-season schedule, he has a chance to eclipse the 120-point mark for the second year in a row, though he'll fall far short of last year's superb 140-point effort.

MacKinnon scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old superstar opened the scoring early in the first period before helping to set up tallies by Cale Makar and Devon Toews as part of a five-goal surge that put the game away. MacKinnon had a quiet end to March by his standards, delivering three goals and eight points over the final 10 games of the month, but he looks to be gearing back up with the playoffs on the horizon.
