SUNRISE, Fla. — Star center Nathan MacKinnon will be a game-time decision Friday when the Avalanche plays the Florida Panthers. MacKinnon suffered a deep bruise to his leg/hip in Wednesday’s 3-2 overtime loss at Pittsburgh and did not participate in Friday’s morning skate.
“His leg’s pretty sore. He got hit there the other night by (Patric) Hornqvist,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said. “I give him a lot of credit — I know he was hurting on the bench the whole game and he battled through it and ends up getting us a big goal in the third period and has a really good third period for us. But he’s questionable (tonight).”
