LAS VEGAS — It was a wild Saturday night in Sin City.
Nathan MacKinnon scored the deciding goal in the shootout to give the Colorado Avalanche a 6-5 victory at T-Mobile Arena against the Vegas Golden Knights.
This Avalanche team hasn’t played in many back-and-forth chaotic games this season. The Avs clawed back from 2-0, 4-2 and 5-4 deficits in what was easily the craziest contest of this Colorado campaign to date.
Colton Sissons got behind Martin Necas, who scored twice for Colorado, and was able to avoid a Scott Wedgewood pokecheck attempt and tuck a backhanded shot inside the left post with exactly four minutes left in the third period to give Vegas a 5-4 lead.
