Lehkonen Nets Two, MacKinnon Hits 700 Assists
Artturi Lehkonen delivers a two-goal masterclass while Nathan MacKinnon notches his 700th NHL assist to lead the Avalanche past the Sharks 4-2. MacKinnon's milestone underscores his generational playmaking in a season where Colorado chases redemption after recent playoff heartbreaks. This win bolsters their Pacific push, but sustaining momentum against elite competition remains the real test for a Cup-or-bust roster.
