Big Sunday at the sold-out PC, where the Avalanche never trailed in a 5-1 victory over Detroit. Given the score and the circumstance, our game story is all about Nathan MacKinnon and his Hart Trophy candidacy. The notebook leads with Erik Johnson‘s return from a 13-game injury absence. THREE STARS Nathan MacKinnon. Two goals, three points and 11 shots for the Hart Trophy candidate. Gabe Landeskog.
