MacKinnon records hat trick, Avs beat Blues 6-3 in Game 2
He treated them along with a boisterous crowd chanting “M-V-P” to quite a show.
MacKinnon capped his first career playoff hat trick with an empty-net goal to help the Colorado Avalanche pull away late for a 6-3 win over St. Louis in Game 2 on Wednesday night after the Blues avoided a pregame virus scare that nearly sidelined several players.
“They’ve been with me every step of the way,” MacKinnon said of his parents. “I’m so glad they got to get up here.”
The speedy forward always seems to raise his game this time of year. The difficult-to-defend MacKinnon now has five goals and two assists in a series the Avalanche lead 2-0.
