"Me and [Matt] Nieto play a lot. He's fun to play with," MacKinnon told ESPN this week.
So where do you and the squad drop?
"We'll drop anywhere hot. We're not trying to chop wood for 30 minutes and then come in second. We're trying to get some kills early," he said. "I get greasy sometimes, for sure."
I asked him about the demonization of Fortnite by some veteran players, and MacKinnon scoffed at it.
"It's fun. People make of it, or whatever, but it's fun to play with your teammates, and it's fun watching them when you die, making fun of them. It's great. A great way to spend time with your friends," said the 2018 Hart Trophy runner-up.
"People just fish for things that don't matter. It's not going to help or hurt you if you play Fortnite. It's ridiculous people think it does."
