MacKinnon registered 4-2-6, including a pair of game-winning goals, in three contests to power the Avalanche (26-16-3, 55 points) to a perfect week and their ninth straight victory, the longest such streak in the NHL this season. He scored the decisive goal in a 3-1 triumph over the Anaheim Ducks Jan. 15. MacKinnon then posted 2‑1-3, his eighth three-point performance of the season, in a 5-3 victory against the San Jose Sharks Jan. 18. He closed the week with 1-1-2, including the winning goal, in a 3-1 triumph over the New York Rangers Jan. 20. The 22-year-old Halifax, N.S., native - who will make his second All-Star Game appearance this week - shares the League lead with seven game-winning goals and ranks second overall with 23-36-59 in 45 outings this season. That includes an NHL-best 15-16-31 in 22 contests since the start of December, highlighted by points in all nine games during Colorado's current winning streak (8-11-19) and goals in five straight (6-4-10).
