Nathan MacKinnon’s big night helps depleted Avalanche hold off pesky Ducks

The Colorado Avalanche lineup underwent its most drastic renovation of the season Tuesday night, but how the team prevailed looked pretty familiar as it snapped a season-long three-game skid.

Alexandar Georgiev was strong early, Nathan MacKinnon dominated and the Avalanche looked more like a dominant two-way club as the game progressed in a 3-2 victory against the Anaheim Ducks at Ball Arena. The Avs are hurting and the situation might have gotten worse in this game, but MacKinnon had a three-point night and one of his best efforts of the campaign to help secure the win.

Kurtis MacDermid hadn’t played since Nov.
