Nathan MacKinnon compiles five points for Avalanche in 6-4 bounce-back win at Buffalo by BennettDurando
The Sabres led 2-1 nearing the halfway point of the second period when Henri Jokiharju went to the box for hooking Nathan MacKinnon. Four seconds later, Artturi Lehkonen caught a high stick in the face.
MacKinnon scored twice in a five-point night that brought his team-leading total to 32 points in 21 games — a season pace of 128.9. J.T. Compher contributed his second and third goals of the season. Granted 1:56 of 5-on-3 time, MacKinnon flicked a game-tying wrister past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen after 80 seconds. What proceeded from there was a clinic in power play persistence. Bednar kept the top unit on the ice, as has been the recent trend with forward depth lacking.
Bednar, asked afterward if he ever runs out of things to say about his top center, answered with a laugh.“He’s the leader for us every night,” Compher said. “Drives the bus. Did it again tonight. Doesn’t always get the goals, but it was nice to see him get a few to go in tonight.”
