It’s a new year, but the same old Nathan MacKinnon is out there setting more records for the Colorado Avalanche.

The Colorado Avalanche and superstar Nathan MacKinnon went into Los Angeles with one goal in mind: To defeat the Kings. They accomplished that by scoring four goals and allowing just one. In the process, MacKinnon once again (surprise, surprise) climbed leaderboards.

The Avalanche moved to Colorado from Quebec (as the Nordiques) in 1995, and in that timeframe, MacKinnon (who was the first overall pick in 2013) reached the number one spot in points all-time in Avalanche history.
