MacKinnon scored twice on eight shots, added three assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
In about as lopsided a game as possible from a talent perspective, MacKinnon made his mark, though he was overshadowed by Cale Makar's six-point effort. Two of MacKinnon's helpers came on the power play. This was the superstar center's fifth multi-point effort over his last eight games, a span in which he has five goals and 13 assists. MacKinnon is now at 25 goals, 73 helpers, 257 shots on net and a plus-23 rating through 63 appearances. He gained separation from Leon Draisaitl (94) and Nikita Kucherov (92) in the Art Ross Trophy race, which is looking like MacKinnon's to lose with six weeks left in the season.

MacKinnon scored twice on the power play, dished an assist and fired six shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
MacKinnon's pair of goals came in the third period, with the first of his tallies being the game-winner. He had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests, which has occurred only one other time this season for the NHL's points leader. He's up to 23 goals, 90 points (28 on the power play), 244 shots on net and a plus-19 rating over 60 appearances. MacKinnon is likely to fall short of last season's 51-goal, 140-point campaign, but he should have no trouble crossing the century mark for the third year in a row.

MacKinnon scored a power-play goal in Canada's 4-3 overtime win over Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal came in the first minute of play on a blind, backhand spin-a-rama pass from fellow Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia superstar, Sidney Crosby. Sid and Nate spend their summers together training, so all those reps mean the two click without even looking for each other on the ice. MacKinnon was also a bull in overtime, powering in multiple times and pounding Filip Gustavsson with big shots into his body. That kind of play wears down the opposition. MacKinnon is playing a regular shift with Crosby and Mitch Marner, so this tourney is going to be electric with that level of talent.
