scoring leader, is going to be in Edmonton. And he’s on a heater — MacKinnon has amassed 10 goals and 20 assists over the course of his 14-game point streak.

For the better part of the last decade, McDavid and MacKinnon have been central to the debate over who is the best overall player in the game. McDavid has three Hart Trophies. MacKinnon has yet to capture the MVP, but he has an even greater prize — a Stanley Cup ring.But, Vancouver Canucks defenceman Nikita Zadorov turned some heads when he broke the humble-NHLer stereotype by declaring MacKinnon the best player in the world and the guy he’d want to build a team around.

The Avalanche and Oilers , two of the favourites to win the Western Conference, have yet to face each other this season. After Saturday’s game, the Avs will visit Edmonton again on April 5, and then host the Oilers on the final day of the season, April 18.“I think it’s a great thing,” said McDavid. “Of course, these guys are as good as anyone in the league. It’s good to test where your team’s at and where your game’s at against one of the league’s best.
