The Colorado Avalanche showcased their offensive prowess in a decisive 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils, with Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar leading the charge. Despite MacKinnon’s impressive playmaking, he faced an unusual season of bad luck, hitting the goalpost multiple times and struggling with a low shooting percentage.

MacKinnon, currently the league's leading scorer, has been making significant contributions despite only converting 8.9% of his shots. His coach, Jared Bednar, remains optimistic about MacKinnon’s potential to increase his goal tally as the season progresses.
