NHL teams have had enough trouble containing Nathan MacKinnon the past two seasons. Don’t make him angry.
Utah Hockey Club center Barrett Hayton and Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon get into a scuffle during the second period of an NHL hockey game Friday, Dec. 27, 2024, in Salt Lake City. SALT LAKE CITY —
“I don’t know. We just got tied up and decided to fight,” MacKinnon said. “It’s been a little bit. Last time I fought, I broke my finger so I tried to chill out for a bit. Sometimes the anger comes back out.” This was Hayton’s first official NHL bout, per Hockey Fights. It’s No. 9 for MacKinnon, but the first since he had two in March 2022. The second one, with Minnesota’s Matthew Dumba, led to the broken finger.
While Avs fans might hold their collective breath when MacKinnon drops the gloves, maybe future opponents should feel some unease as well.
