Superstar defenseman Cale Makar reached another milestone with his 13th goal in his 23rd game this season and superstar center Nathan MacKinnon had two assists to extend his points streak to eight games as the red-hot Avalanche defeated the New York Rangers 4-2 on Tuesday night to sweep the two-game season series against the Original Six franchise at Ball Arena.
Second-line winger Valeri Nichushkin had the game-winning and game-clinching goals and center Nazem Kadri, who missed the two previous games with an injury, had three assists in his magical season. He leads Colorado with 37 points in 23 games.
