MacKinnon leads scoring spree in 2nd as Avs beat Oilers 6-2
DENVER — Nathan MacKinnon and Tyson Barrie scored a minute apart to ignite a four-goal second period as the playoff-chasing Colorado Avalanche rallied for a 6-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
Down 2-0 after the opening period to an Edmonton team already eliminated from post-season contention, the Avalanche surged in the second. MacKinnon started the scoring spree with his 40th goal of the season, while Barrie, Alexander Kerfoot and Colin Wilson joined in. All four goals were scored in a 7:08 span.
Kerfoot and Sven Andrighetto added insurance goals in the third.
