Nathan MacKinnon hits the 100-point mark in dominant 5-0 win over Chicago Blackhawks

The Colorado Avalanche secured a dominant 5-0 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks, with Nathan MacKinnon adding a stylish touch to the win.

MacKinnon scored his 100th point of the season with just 2:28 left, sealing the victory. Zach Parise contributed significantly with two goals and an assist. Justus Annunen made 24 saves, earning his first career shutout in nine NHL appearances.

Nathan MacKinnon expressed his views on Justus Annunen's performance:

“He’s been looking great, Pumped for him. It’s pretty special to get your first shutout.”

Coach Jared Bednar praised MacKinnon's consistency.

"Incredible feat to be able to contribute on a daily basis and to be able to hit 100 at this point in the season is impressive" Bednar said

Colorado's overall effort was highlighted by Ross Colton's goal and Devon Toews' slap shot, which increased the advantage to 4-0 at the end of the second period. Parise, thinking about the team's depth, expressed happiness with his contribution.

“They always feel good, when you can contribute to the offense," Parise said

Chicago, in contrast, struggled, with defenseman Jarred Tinordi admitting,

"I think we got tentative."

Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson acknowledged the challenge of facing the potent Avalanche, saying:

"They’re a great team, We just, I think, opened up a little bit in the second period and got off a bit of our game plan... and then that just lets them go."

The victory was Colorado's second in a row, and both teams will meet again on Monday night in Colorado. In their last 29 games, the Blackhawks went 5-20-4.
