With a total of 828 NHL games, Nathan MacKinnon ranks fourth among players with the most appearances for the Colorado Avalanche. With 926 points, the Canadian is in second place behind Joe Sakic (54, 1192).

MacKinnon has now overtaken his compatriot in another statistic: in the 3-0 win against the reigning champions Vegas Golden Knights, the 28-year-old recorded an assist and thus a scorer point in the 23rd home game in a row. This season, spectators in the home ball arena could always marvel at at least one goal or one assist from their top striker. Moreover, only five of these 23 games were lost.

In addition to Sakic, MacKinnon also brought in Wayne Gretzky (1982/84 for Edmonton) and Phil Esposito (1973/74 for Boston). There are only two games left until Bobby Orr’s second place finish (75); In the 74/75 season he achieved at least one point in 25 home games in a row. As with many other statistics, the record is held by NHL legend Gretzky (62), who scored in 40 consecutive home games for the Los Angeles Kings in the 1988/89 season.

Thanks to the victory, Colorado retains second place in the Central Division behind the Winnipeg Jets with Nino Niederreiter (31). He and all other Swiss did not take action on Thursday evening.
