MacKinnon scored a goal on six shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
MacKinnon has two goals through four contests, but it's taken him 27 shots to do it. His marker Thursday was an insurance goal in the third period. The 28-year-old has four points, five blocked shots, four hits, four PIM and a plus-5 rating this season. While he's been a bit unlucky so far, his high shot volume should keep him among the best scorers in the NHL once things average out.

MacKinnon registered a game-high 14 shots on goal but failed to record a point in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
MacKinnon wasn't able to convert in the shootout, either, as goalie MacKenzie Blackwood stood on his head in his Sharks debut. However, shots on goal is a common category in fantasy hockey, particularly for DFS formats, serving as a reminder that elite skaters like MacKinnon can still get it done even without a goal or apple on the scoreboard.

MacKinnon scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists, added two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
MacKinnon opened the scoring at 7:25 of the first period, then added a pair of assists early in the second. The 28-year-old is already among the best scorers in the league, and he's off to a fantastic start in 2023-24. He produced 42 goals and 111 points in just 71 contests last season, so there's plenty of optimism that MacKinnon can get back to the 100-point mark this year.
