MacKinnon scored a goal on six shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

MacKinnon continues to be automatic at home, earning at least a point in all 29 of the Avalanche's games at Ball Arena this season. The 28-year-old extended his overall point streak to seven contests, five of which have been multi-point efforts. For the season, the superstar center has 35 goals, 63 assists, 288 shots on net and a plus-18 rating over 60 appearances.

MacKinnon (face) is expected to play Tuesday versus Washington, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
MacKinnon exited Saturday's loss to Florida after suffering an apparent facial injury, but he should slot into his usual spots on the top line and first power-play unit against the Capitals. The 28-year-old pivot has racked up an eye-popping 32 goals and 85 points through 53 contests this season, good for second place in NHL scoring behind Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov, who has 89 points through 52 games.
