How old is NHL star Nathan MacKinnon?
THE Avalanche ended their 2021 Stanley Cup run after losing to the Vegas Golden Knights 6-3. Colorado Avalanche centre and alternate captain, Nathan MacKinnon, helped lead his team to a 39-13-4 record this season ending the regular season 1st in the NHL West. The eight-year Avalanche veteran is currently 25 years old. He was born September 1, 1995, in Springhill, Canada. MacKinnon was drafted to the Colorado Avalanche back in 2013 after being selected first overall in the NHL Entry Draft and has been with the team ever since. In a win or go home situation for the Colorado Avalanche, the team faced elimination before the game against the Vegas Golden Knights on June 10, 2021. In the best of 7 rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Colorado was down 3-2 overall and their loss that Thursday gave the Knights their spot in the Final Four beating them overall in the series 4-2. Following the game, MacKinnon was the center of attention at the post-game press conference. "It's all we talk about, I feel like. I mean, I'm going on my ninth year next year and haven't won s***," MacKinnon said. "I'm definitely motivated and it just sucks losing four in a row to a team and it felt like last year was our first real chance to win and this year, I felt we were the best team in the league. For whatever reason, we just couldn't get it together. I'm sure in training camp next year, we'll dissect things and figure it out and come back better." Colorado took the series lead 2-0 in the beginning of the semifinals before Vegas came back winning four in a row. At just 25-years-old, the Canadian hockey player is a multi-millionaire. Back in 2016, after his 3-year entry level contact was up, he re-signed with Colorado to a 7-year, $44,100,000 contract with it all guaranteed. more in sports CURVY CAM Basketball star shows off incredible 6-foot-8 figure in Savage X Fenty lingerie QUEEN ELIZABETH Six-foot-eight basketball ace stuns in lingerie clip for Valentine's Day WHITE HOT 6'8" basketball star Liz Cambage shows off her endless legs in tiny white bikini SHOP TO IT Ex-Sports Direct employee reveals store secrets & how to bag Boxing Day deals CLEAN SLATE Rangers long-running feud with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley over  That year he made an annual salary of $5,000,000 and it has gone up ever since.
