Nathan MacKinnon's 4-Point Game Sparks Avs over Kraken
The NHL overturned MacKinnon's game misconduct, removing automatic suspension risk and resetting his penalty count before he scored one goal and three assists in a 5-1 win.
- According to the Associated Press on Thursday, the NHL rescinded Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon's game misconduct, a source told the AP on condition of anonymity.
- During Tuesday's game at Ball Arena, MacKinnon was assessed a five-minute major and game misconduct after colliding with Edmonton Oilers goaltender Connor Ingram; officials confirmed the major after a lengthy video review, and Ingram left with a cut, not returning.
- Two days after his ejection, MacKinnon returned Thursday and scored his NHL-leading 44th goal plus three assists against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena.
- The reversal resets MacKinnon's game-misconduct counter to zero under NHL rule 23.6, removing his risk of an automatic one-game suspension this season.
- The Avalanche contested that MacKinnon couldn't avoid Ingram because Darnell Nurse collided with him, and Jared Bednar said the play should not have been penalized or assessed a major.
