MacKinnon now sits behind Joe Sakic for most points at 1641 in 1378 games played with the franchise. MacKinnon is at 889 games played, fourth-most in franchise history, behind Adam Foote (967).

It’s no shocker to anyone that Sakic holds the records for many Avalanche franchise records, but MacKinnon, with how he has been playing these past couple of seasons, is catching up and already passing Sakic in many categories. Most notably, he is two assists away from passing Peter Stastny in franchise assists (668). Outside of that, he is 25 even-strength goals from passing Michael Goulet’s even-strength goals (294).
