NathanMacKinnon

Nathan MacKinnon, a right-shooting centre, plays hockey for the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL. At 31, he is playing in the current NHL season, and he has 1,142 career points. His points come from goals and assists, and he represents Canada internationally.

The Avalanche selected him first overall in 2013, a defining moment that shaped his career. He has stayed with Colorado since, becoming a cornerstone centre. That draft position set expectations he has met with steady production.

When MacKinnon competes, watch his right-handed shot and his vision as a centre. He drives play for Colorado and can dictate pace. For Canada, he brings the same attacking mindset, looking to create scoring chances.
