It was another milestone night for Nathan MacKinnon.
The Colorado Avalanche superstar scored his 400th career NHL goal Wednesday night against the St. Louis Blues, and then added No. 401 moments later. MacKinnon scored on a rebound just 3:13 into the first period on newly-minted Olympic goaltender Jordan Binnington and then scored again at 4:39 of the opening frame.
MacKinnon is the third player to score 400 with the franchise, joining Joe Sakic (625 goals) and Michael Goulet (456). He already has the most since the club moved to Denver, surpassing Sakic’s 391 on Dec. 11.
The 2024 NHL MVP after a career high 51 goals and 140 points, MacKinnon has the sixth-most goals, second-most points and second-most shots on goal in the league since the day he was drafted in 2013.
