The NHL's most productive line could be headed for a split. 

With the Colorado Avalanche owning just one win in their past 10 games, the dominant trio of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog could soon find themselves spread out in the lineup.

All three players were named to this month's All-Star Game with Rantanen and MacKinnon both sitting in the league's top five in points and Landeskog sitting fifth in the NHL in goals this season.

MacKinnon said Monday that splitting up the unit could benefit the team as a whole.

"That would probably be a good thing, too," MacKinnon said ahead of his team's contest with the Toronto Maple Leafs. "It would be good to spread it out, but we tried a little bit this year and we just kind of kept coming back to three of us. 

"We tried it at home for a few periods and it was okay, but (head coach Jared Bednar) just put us back together. It's definitely something that we should try in the future, especially if we don't win here."

The three players have combined for 13 of the team's 23 goals over the past 10 games, with MacKinnon recording 11 points, Rantanen posting 10 and Landeskog notching nine over the stretch. 

While all three players have already topped the 50-point mark this season, Carl Soderberg sits fourth among Avalanche forwards with just 25 points this season in in 45 games. 

Landeskog said he believes keeping the unit could still be the best option for the team.

"It already has happened a couple of times this season," Landeskog said. "A couple of weeks ago, they split us up and I went to play with (J.T.) Compher and (Alexander) Kerfoot – a shorter period of time, but I think that's up to the coaching staff to try to determine that. If they see that something's not going well and they want to change something up, then we're all up for it. 

"It's a lot fun playing with these two guys and I think as long as we're playing well and contributing, I think that it could be a good thing for us – if we can drive the bus. If the coaches see something else, I'd be more than willing to play with other guys too."

The Avalanche, who have just four points since Dec. 21, have fallen into the Western Conference's top wild-card playoff spot and own just a one-point lead over the Anaheim Ducks, who sit ninth in the conference.
