Congratulations to former Halifax Mooseheads star Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche who last night has reached 1000 career NHL points!
Nate becomes the first former Mooseheads player to ever do so.
He reached point 1000 in a 3-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks with a pair of assists last night on home ice in Denver, Colorado.
