The Colorado Avalanche clinched a playoff spot with a game to spare against the Winnipeg Jets. Arguably, the Avalanche had been playing playoff hockey for a while now, staring down a points deficit in early March, coupled with the loss of two of the three best offensive players in their arsenal.
Then in the last 14 games, Colorado made their own luck, posting a 9-3-2 record, taking 20 of a possible 28 points, to clinch a playoff spot.
Secondary scoring showed up to support MacKinnon, which is good to see. Even Colin Wilson got to wave his magic wand and make a fool of Connor McDavid.
