Nathan MacKinnon said it’s up to the NHL’s top players to “drive the bus” and deliver for their team.

He took the Colorado Avalanche for quite a ride in Game 1, scoring twice, in a 7-2 win.

Evgeni Malkin came through in the third overtime for Pittsburgh against the New York Rangers.

T.J. Oshie drove Washington past top-seeded Florida in Game 1.

It’s a case of big-time players coming up big time.

A team can’t have too many of them, either.

In addition to MacKinnon, the Avalanche had Cale Makar, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen step up.
