The Colorado Avalanche dominated the Calgary Flames with a 6-2 victory. Mikko Rantanen had a stellar performance, scoring multiple points and extending his point streak. Nathan MacKinnon also showcased his skills, contributing to the team's success.
Canucks stopped playing when MacKinnon and Avalanche got going. It’s getting late for lessons about dealing with pressure. Playoffs are coming. JT Miller: “This is all us. We didn’t win our battles, didn’t execute our passes. They deserved to win.” https://t.co/lSkYtM1HuJ
Tocchet on the great fade: “It seems like we just wanted to get rid of the puck and we kind of froze to be honest.” #Canucks https://t.co/Y71Gh4gsP2

MacKinnon visits boomtown again. 3-2.

Mikko Rantanen passes Anton Stastny and Peter Forsberg for All time road goals by Avalanche/Nordique player with 112. #Avalanche #Colorado #Quebec #Nordiques
Nathan MacKinnon leads all scorers right now with 41 goals and 72 assists, which gives him 113 points on the season. Is he a lock for the Hart despite what Nikita Kucherov and Connor McDavid are doing? More from @mike_p_johnson in The Talking Point: https://t.co/nyVvtSw31z https://t.co/v75cHQ7tgL
Avs MacKinnon has 125 shots in 25 career games vs #Canucks. Has 10 shots twice including last meeting. I remember night in Denver when he had 9 shots on 19 attempts. One of most dominant individual performances I've seen in person. Nux couldn't get the puck from him

The Avs cruise to victory tonight over the Flames. 🏔 https://t.co/3lVk7HC6Q3
The Avalanche lost 5-1 in Nashville 10 days ago. Since then, they've won 4 straight, outscoring the opposition 20-5. MacKinnon has been in on 12-of-20 goals. Rantanen has 10 points in the same stretch.
Mikko Rantanen joins the Avs scoring party. 🥳 https://t.co/M2YQJk1L8v
Mikko goes bar down for his second of the night after gathering the rebound from Makar's shot.... Avs now up 6-2 #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Cale Makar fires one off the post ... and then Mikko Rantanen just casually snaps one from the same angle as MacKinnon's goal under the bar and in. Someone get Dan Vladar a white flag. Or a beer. 6-2 #Avs
The Dan Vladar from period one is a distant memory. Rantanen with his 4th point of the night. 6-2.
Rantanen. 6-2 Avs. Mikko is now all alone in 5th place in the points race. He has 4 tonight and 88 on the season
With tonight's 3 points, Rantanen is now tied with Panarin for 5th place in the NHL points race. Only MacKinnon, Kucherov, McDavid and Pastrnak are ahead of him
Val Nichushkin with a heat-seeking missile on a pretty simple rush play where he was just ... very open. 4-2 #Avs 29 shots in less than 28 min. 60 SOGs could be in play tonight.
Valeri Nichushkin, kind of important. 4-2.
Nichushkin has 3 points in a game and a half since his return from the Assistance Program ..... #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Two goals in 58 seconds for the #Avs. Josh Manson is getting credit for the first one. No doubt who scored the second one. Avs have 27 shots on goal in 26:05. Dam was gonna break, eventually.
Dan Vladar just got over into position to seal off the short side on for a one-timer from Nathan MacKinnon ... and MacKinnon said cool story bro and shot it over his far shoulder instead. Crazy shot. 3-2 #Avs
MacKinnon is next level right now!! Another multi point game. Now has 113 pts this season. Has 8 goals and 28 points on his 13 game point streak
MacKinnon. 3-2 Avs. No. 41 for Nate
The #Avs have 17 shots on goal in less than 13 minutes. Yielding multiple odd-man rushes per shift is a bold strategy, Cotton.
Nathan MacKinnon comes into tonight with a four point lead over Nikita Kucherov. MacKinnon already has one point tonight #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/LT5zQHT6sy
Vladar robs MacKinnon shortly after robbing Nichushkin. Then stops Mittelstadt and Duhaime on a 2-on-1. Impressive. Avs outshoot Calgary 15-5
Mikko Rantanen put the @Avalanche up 1-0 just over two minutes into the game to record the second double-digit point streak of his NHL career (also 14 GP from Nov. 18–Dec. 15, 2018). #NHLStats: https://t.co/m0mxO2HUH6 https://t.co/henLJalMON
Daniil Miromanov nails a one timer from the blue line and the puck deflects off of Cogliano and we suddenly have a tied game #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Turns out putting a large man with elite hands in front of the net makes a power play hard to defend. Nichushkin collects a rebound, slips it to Rantanen for a lay-up, after a stupid penalty from Martin Pospisil who had played about 30 seconds since being suspended. 1-0 Avs
Quick PP goal. It's Mikko from Val and MacKinnon. 1-0 Avs
Do you see Nathan MacKinnon recording over 2.5 points vs. the Flames tonight? 💥 https://t.co/MRT7t7S4rb https://t.co/MJOmSuo8La
Mikko Rantanen (2-12—14 in 9 GP) will look to extend his point streak to double digits for the second time in his career when his @Avalanche take on the Flames on @TVASports at 9 p.m. ET. #NHLStats: https://t.co/2tq6o2PL9O https://t.co/Z6GSxvAkYQ
