BREAKING: Nathan MacKinnon has just hit a major milestone, scoring his 400th NHL goal against the St. Louis Blues on February 7, 2024. The Colorado Avalanche superstar wasted no time, finding the net just 3:13 into the first period against goaltender Jordan Binnington, and quickly followed up with his 401st goal at 4:39.
This impressive feat makes MacKinnon the third player in Avalanche history to reach 400 goals, joining legends Joe Sakic and Michael Goulet. With this achievement, he firmly establishes his legacy, having surpassed Sakic’s 391 goals since the franchise’s move to Denver.
MacKinnon’s remarkable season continues as he leads the NHL with 34 goals and ranks second in points, trailing only Edmonton’s Connor McDavid. He has also been named the 2024 NHL MVP, following a career-high 51 goals and 140 points last season.
In addition to his regular-season success, MacKinnon stands out in the postseason, boasting 55 career goals in just 95 playoff games, the highest tally since he entered the league. His performance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs has solidified his status as one of the sport’s elite players.
“Nathan has consistently proven himself as a top player in the league, and tonight’s achievement is just another testament to his hard work and talent,” said Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar.
MacKinnon’s contributions extend beyond the NHL as he is set to represent Canada in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. The full Canadian roster was announced today, featuring fellow Avalanche players Cale Makar and Devon Toews, among others.
This milestone not only highlights MacKinnon’s individual accolades but also serves as a rallying point for the Avalanche as they aim for another Stanley Cup. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the team continues its pursuit of excellence in the upcoming games.
