Nathan MacKinnon had his most productive night of the season to pull the Colorado Avalanche out of a funk, but the club’s extraordinary injury crisis may have somehow reached a new level.

DENVER -- Nathan MacKinnon had five assists, and the Colorado Avalanche snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-3 win against the Seattle Kraken at Ball Arena on Tuesday. MacKinnon (six goals, 19 assists) and Cale Makar (five goals, 18 assists), who had two assists on Tuesday, each extended their season-opening point streak to 13 games.

Gabriel Vilardi scored and Connor Hellebuyck stopped 35 shots for his third shutout this season as the Winnipeg Jets beat the Colorado Avalanche 1-0.
