DENVER (AP) — Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon became the first NHL player this season to reach 50 goals when his liner from up top beat Vancouver goaltender Kevin Lankinen early in the first period on Wednesday night.

He celebrated the goal with a little extra flair, too, sliding on his right knee while pumping his right glove.
