Nathan MacKinnon scored the only goal of the shootout as the visiting Colorado Avalanche defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Mikko Rantanen scored in regulation for Colorado (38-22-6), which got 18 saves from Alexandar Georgiev. After a frantic overtime that saw terrific chances at both ends, MacKinnon beat Samsonov on a nice deke on the Avalanche's second shot.

Georgiev then denied Mitch Marner to seal both points for the visitors. Colorado improved to 4-4 in shootouts, while Toronto dropped to 0-2.

Coming off Monday's 4-3 home loss to Buffalo where Toronto held a 2-0 lead late in the second period, the Leafs opened the scoring three minutes into the first when Rielly scored his third after hitting the post earlier.
