Nathan MacKinnon’s 2-goal effort seals 1st-round sweep of Kings

The Colorado Avalanche had the chance to sweep the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday. Los Angeles kept things close with Colorado in the early stages of this series. However, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are where the stars shine the brightest. And Nathan MacKinnon may have been the brightest star on the ice in Game 4.

The Avalanche superstar scored two goals for Colorado on Sunday. His goals were a major driving force in his team’s 5-1 win over the Kings. As a result, Colorado is moving on to the second round. Los Angeles, meanwhile, has been swept out of the playoffs.

Unfortunately, the Kings are no strangers to first-round exits. In fact, this is the fifth straight season in which Los Angeles failed to make it out of the first round. Each of the last four defeats came at the hands of Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.

This is a developing story. Updates to follow.
