Game Recap

Avs Clinch Playoffs, MacKinnon and Necas Explode vs Hawks

Nathan MacKinnon dishes three assists while Martin Necas tallies a goal and two helpers to lead the Avalanche past the Blackhawks in Chicago. Colorado snaps a mini-slump against a last-place squad missing key pieces from injuries, pulling four points clear of Dallas in the West. This first playoff lock of the season ramps up the pressure on the Stars and sets the Avs up for a deep run chasing another Cup.
