MacKinnon scores in shootout to lift Avalanche over Wild 3
- On Sunday, Nathan MacKinnon scored the deciding shootout goal, giving the Colorado Avalanche a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild at Ball Arena after a 2-2 tie.
- After MacKinnon's second-period goal, Nazem Kadri fed him for his NHL-leading 43rd, and Nicolas Roy tipped a Brett Kulak shot late in the third to send the game into overtime.
- Goaltending proved decisive as Scott Wedgewood made 32 saves for the Avalanche while Minnesota killed five Avalanche power plays during a collective 10 minutes short-handed.
- With the result, the game was the teams' final regular-season meeting unless they meet again in the playoffs, and MacKinnon's shootout winner clinched a season-series split.
- Nazem Kadri's return, assisted in his first game back, received ovations from the Ball Arena crowd, and Colorado hosts Edmonton on Tuesday.
