The title says it all — Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon is officially a 40-goal scorer. He recorded a power play tally against the Edmonton Oilers last night.
Last season, MacKinnon went into god mode and recorded career-highs in goals (39), assists (58) and, naturally, overall points (97). That goals total, though… 39. It was the first time he’d recorded a 30+ goal season, but 39 is such a threshold. He just needed that one more…
Well, this season, in Game 80, he got it. Our superstar matched his points total (97) and stepped over that threshold into 40 Goal Land.
