Nathan Mackinnon produced an assist in Colorados 6-3 home loss at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. He finished the game with a minus-2 rating and two shots through 21:52 of TOI.

Fantasy Impact:

Yikes. The Avalanche gave up three goals in the third period to the opposition and the late surge was good enough to put them away. Coach Jared Bednar decided to break up the top line of Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan Mackinnon and Mikko Rantanen after the All-star break to see if a shake up would help them but it didn't and he reset the lines immediately. Owners shouldn't worry about the star center as he will see ample opportunity to score points with the top line restored but the Avs need to figure out a few glaring problems (defense, line depth and arguably goaltending) if they want to stay in contention. Mackinnon has a stout 72 points through 52 games this year.
