Nathan MacKinnon showcased his elite skills during Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Dallas Stars, contributing significantly to the Colorado Avalanche's offensive efforts. He assisted on an Artturi Lehkonen goal and scored another, marking his 68th career playoff assist, making him the Avalanche's third all-time leader in this category. This milestone surpassed Mikko Rantanen, with only Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg ahead of him. Despite MacKinnon's impressive performance, the Avalanche fell short, losing 6-2, and now trail the series 3-2, as they head back to Ball Arena for Game 6.
