MacKinnon scores overtime winner as Avalanche topple Canucks 5-4
VANCOUVER — The Colorado Avalanche’s power play has been missing for weeks. They found it in Vancouver.
Nathan MacKinnon scored Colorado’s fifth power-play goal of the night in overtime as the Avalanche rallied to a 5-4 win over the Canucks on Tuesday. The Avalanche trailed 4-1 with 4:18 left in a wild second period before Colorado’s power play came to life.
“We got some momentum,” said MacKinnon, who also had three assists. “You don’t see a lot of 4-1 comebacks, especially nowadays. Teams usually shut it down.
“To come back you need a good power play.”
