MacKinnon Hits 1,000 NHL Points in Avalanche Win

Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche became the 100th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 career points during a game against the Chicago Blackhawks, contributing two assists in a 3-0 victory. His milestone was secured with an assist to Artturi Lehkonen early in the third period, marking a significant achievement for the 29-year-old, who is the fourth-fastest among active players to reach this mark. MacKinnon joins franchise legends Joe Sakic and Peter Stastny in achieving this milestone for the Avalanche. The game saw Colorado maintain a perfect 6-0-0 homestand, aided by Scott Wedgewood's shutout performance. MacKinnon, who leads the NHL with 102 points this season, continues to impress with his offensive and defensive contributions as the Avalanche aim for another Stanley Cup.
