One of the top priorities when Matt Nieto returned to Denver was returning to the simulation.
At least one of his former Fortnite companions on the Avalanche roster had hung up the cleats, but Nieto never stopped playing. He and Nathan MacKinnon were especially dynamic at the popular online video game.
“I was really tight with him,” MacKinnon said. “We’re good buddies.”
“Me and Nate are going to get it dialed in,” Nieto said. “Become the best duo we can again.”
Just like old times.
That’s the feeling around the Avalanche locker room with an old pal back like he never left.
