Avalanche's MacKinnon breaks nose on hit from Wild's Bergenheim

Nathan MacKinnon's sophomore season has not gone as planned.

The reigning Calder Trophy winner hit another bump in the road to NHL stardom Saturday, suffering a broken nose on this hit from Sean Bergenheim of the Minnesota Wild.

As the video shows, MacKinnon was forced to don a full cage following a brief exit from the game.

No penalty was called on the play, leading to a boiling over of frustrations and a flurry of penalties in the dying seconds of the contest.

For the season, MacKinnon has scored 13 goals in 63 games for the Colorado Avalanche, well off the 24-goal pace set in his rookie season.
