Since moving to Denver, the Avalanche boast a 17-6 record in best-of-seven playoff series when they win the first game.
Game 2 is Thursday, which also happens to be Kuemper’s 32nd birthday.
It trails only Wayne Gretzky (1.84) and Mario Lemieux (1.61), with a minimum of 40 games. MacKinnon scored his second goal of the game in the third period and, coupled with an assist, raised his playoff points per game average to 1.41.
