MacKinnon leads scoring spree in 2nd as Avs beat Oilers 6-2
DENVER — Already in full desperation mode, the Colorado Avalanche found an even higher level.
It may have just saved their season.
Nathan MacKinnon and Tyson Barrie scored a minute apart to ignite a four-goal second period as the playoff-chasing Avalanche rallied for a 6-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
“It just kind of shows how much character we have in this room,” Barrie said of the comeback. “We made some great plays.”
