Nathan MacKinnon leads NHL MVP race over Ovechkin

Nathan MacKinnon is leading the NHL MVP race with 102 points, overshadowing Alex Ovechkin, who is closing in on Wayne Gretzky's goal record. Ovechkin's performance has not secured him a spot in the MVP contention. The Colorado Avalanche boosted their playoff chances with a win over the Flames, aided by MacKinnon's strong play and Parker Kelly's two goals. This victory highlights the team's momentum as the season nears its end.
