At this rate, Nathan MacKinnon will be the last Avalanche player to wear No. 29. On Tuesday in Los Angeles, MacKinnon became the fourth player to reach 500 points in an Avalanche sweater, joining Joe Sakic (1,015), Milan Hejduk (880) and Peter Forsberg (705) on the list. Each of the former Avs have their jerseys retired at Ball Arena, and none of them were as young as the 25-year-old MacKinnon when he joined the club early in his eighth NHL season. Of course, Sakic did get to 500 career points faster than MacKinnon, with the Hall of Famer reaching that benchmark in just his sixth season at age 24.
