Rantanen and Devon Toews all recorded three assists and Philipp Grubauer made 31 saves.

• MacKinnon's hat trick was the first by an Avalanche player in the postseason since Valeri Kamensky on April 24, 1997 vs Chicago (Game 5 of

WCQF). It was the 10th hat trick in franchise playoff history and fourth since relocating to Denver.

• MacKinnon's four points tied a playoff career high (third time). He surpassed the 60 career playoff point mark in his 42nd game, tied for the

fifth-fastest player in NHL history to reach 60.

• MacKinnon is the first player in franchise history to have five goals through the team's first two playoff contests.

• The Avs went 2-for-2 with the man advantage and are 3-for-5 in this series. The PP unit is clicking at a 37.2% rate (16-43) in 10 games against

the Blues in 2020-21.

• Donskoi scored 35 seconds into the first period, the second-fastest goal to begin a game in franchise playoff history and the fastest since the

Rob Blake in Game 3 of 2002 WCSF at San Jose (May 6, 2002).

PLAYOFF TIME

This is Colorado's 36th playoff series since relocating from Quebec in 1995-96. The Avs have gone 21-14 in the previous 35. Overall, this is the

51st playoff series in franchise history (27-23 record) and 45th best-of-seven series (24-20 record). The Nordiques/Avalanche own a 155-135-1 all-time

relocating trail only Detroit (145) and Pittsburgh (134).

trips to the postseason from 1995 to 2006 and the Nordiques made seven straight from 1981 to 1987. This is the 26th postseason appearance in

franchise history and 17th since moving to Denver.

AVS & BLUES

The Avs and Blues are meeting for just the second time in the postseason, as Colorado defeated St. Louis in five games during the 2001 Western

Conference Final. They also faced off in one round robin game during the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoff qualifiers, a 2-1 victory in Edmonton on Aug. 2.

The Avs finished 5-3-0 against the Blues during the 2020-21 regular season, 3-1-0 at home. The five victories were Colorado's most ever versus St.

Louis in a single season.

AVS WIN PRESIDENTS’ TROPHY, DIVISION TITLE

The Avalanche finished the season 39-13-4 (82 points), winning the Honda West Division and Presidents’ Trophy for the best record in the league.

Colorado finished with its highest points percentage in franchise history (.732), breaking the previous mark of .720 set in 2000-01. The Avs, who went 5-

0-0 over the final seven days of the season, were the first team to win the Presidents’ Trophy in their final game of the year since Vancouver in 2011-12.

The Avs claimed their third Presidents’ Trophy (1996-97, 2000-01) and 10th division title since moving to Denver (12th in franchise history). The Avs

overcame two COVID-related pauses, the only team to pause twice in 2020-21, and the second-most man-games lost to injury in the league with 313.

SOME LIKE IT HOT

The Avs ended the regular season on a five-game win streak and went 8-1-0 in their last nine to secure home ice throughout the playoffs. Colorado was

18-5-0 in its last 23 games, 26-5-2 in its last 33 contests and 30-7-3 in its last 40 games. That was the NHL’s best record since March 29 (.783), March

10 (.818) and Feb. 26 (.788).

AIN’T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH, AIN’T NO VALLEY LOW

Colorado’s first overall finish came just four years after finishing last overall in the standings in 2016-17. The Avs are the first NHL team to go from worst

to first in four seasons or less since the Bruins in 1970-71. Boston finished last in the league just four years earlier in 1966-67.

HOME SWEET HOME

The Avalanche are 2-0 at home this postseason and going back to the regular season have won 11 straight at Ball Arena and are 18-0-1 in their last 19

on home ice. The Avs finished 22-4-2 at home (.821), tied with Pittsburgh for the most wins and points (46) in the league. The .821 home points

percentage was the club’s highest since relocating to Denver, topping the .768 by the 2000-01 squad. Colorado finished the season on a nine-game

home winning streak and went 16-0-1 in its final 17 at Ball Arena, tying the franchise record for the longest home point streak set in 2002-03. The Avs

out-scored their opponents 110-54 (+56) on home ice.

THIS DAY IN AVS HISTORY

May 21, 2001 — Joe Sakic scored the series-clinching goal 24 seconds into overtime to send Colorado to the Stanley Cup Final with a 2-1 victory over

the Blues in Game 5 of the 2001 Conference Final.
