Pots empty-netter MacKinnon scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Stars.

Impact MacKinnon remains hot with six goals and two assists over his last six games. That's not even his peak pace on offense, but the Avalanche can afford to take it easy since they're three points gained (or lost by the Stars) from securing the Presidents' Trophy. MacKinnon has matched his career high with 51 goals and is up to 122 points, 327 shots, 60 hits, 35 PIM, 34 blocked shots and a plus-57 rating over 74 appearances in an MVP-caliber season.

APRIL 3 • Associated Press

First to 50 goals MacKinnon scored a goal on seven shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Canucks.

Impact MacKinnon has five goals and two assists over his last five outings. His tally Wednesday was his league-leading 50th of the season -- that's a milestone he's now reached in two of the last three years. He's up to 121 points, 325 shots on net, 60 hits, 34 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-55 rating over 73 appearances this season. MacKinnon seems likely to surpass his career high of 51 goals from 2023-24, but he probably doesn't have enough time to top his 140-point output from that campaign.

Three points in Monday's rout MacKinnon scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Monday's 9-2 romp over Calgary.

Impact It was the fourth time in the last 13 games that MacKinnon has produced at least three points. The 30-year-old superstar remains in the thick of the race for the Art Ross Trophy, with his 120 points in 72 games putting him four points back of Connor McDavid and one back of Nikita Kucherov, and MacKinnon's 49 goals has him three clear of Cole Caufield in the battle for the Rocket Richard Trophy.
