Colorado struck three times in the period against Arizona, and all three tallies involved some excellent build-up play.Valeri Nichushkin scored on a backhanded cross-ice pass from Nathan MacKinnon early in the period. It was a surgical sequence from the top line and defense pairing, with MacKinnon extending his point streak to 18 games. It’s the longest of his career and the...
