LOS ANGELES — It has been 10 days since Nathan MacKinnon scored one of the biggest goals of his life, and eight since one of the toughest defeats.
He’s had a little time to decompress and get back into the rhythm of a packed NHL schedule as the stretch run beckons. The 2026 Winter Olympics featured incredible highs and lows for the Colorado Avalanche star, and it was his first chance to play on that global stage.
MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Devon Toews left Milan with silver medals after the United States defeated Canada, 2-1 in overtime, in the gold medal game.
