That sent the game to a shootout -- a situation that hasn't exactly been kind to Colorado this season.
Nečas scored for the Avalanche with a smooth finish, but Vegas immediately answered as Mitch Marner beat Wedgewood. MacKinnon was Colorado's fourth shooter to make an attempt as both Ross Colton and Val Nichushkin failed to convert but it was the right time for the superstar as he froze Hart on a delayed shot to put Colorado up by one. The difference came at the other end, where Wedgewood shut the door on the final Vegas attempt to seal the win and finally snap Colorado's shootout skid.
