MacKinnon Leads Avs to 4-3 OT Win over Wild

Colorado-Avalanche-LogoDENVER (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon scored 3:27 into overtime after P.A. Parenteau (payr-ehn-TOH’) tied the game late in regulation, helping the Colorado Avalanche rally for a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night and a 3-2 lead in the first-round series.

MacKinnon poked the puck past Darcy Kuemper’s glove with two defenders all over him. The rookie also had two assists.

Parenteau scored with 1:14 left after Avalanche coach Patrick Roy pulled goaltender Semyon Varlamov (var-LAH’-mawf) with 2:22 remaining. The strategy worked out yet again.

The series switches back to Minnesota for Game 6 on Monday.
