Held to one goal over Games 1 and 2, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen delivered when the Avs needed them most. From MattDSchubert
: Following a theme that’s haunted Colorado throughout its title defense, forward Valeri Nichushkin was a late scratch Saturday with an undisclosed injury. This, of course, is where having a glut of superstar talent comes in handy. Held to one goal over Games 1 and 2, the triumvirate of Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen delivered when the Avs needed them most, combining for five goals, and seven total points, to seize control of the series.
Two periods later, he followed Rantanen’s five-hole masterpiece by deking Ryan Donato to the ice and firing off a top-shelf wrister that squeezed through the tiniest of cracks to beat Philipp Grubauer glove side.: One game after the Avalanche scored a pair of goals off faceoff wins on Seattle’s end of the ice, including Devon Toews’ game-winner in the third period, Colorado struck again on Saturday night.
