Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar get unfortunate injury timelines in latest update
The Colorado Avalanche will have to navigate the coming weeks without two of their most important players. Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar are both expected to miss significant time after suffering lower-body injuries in Thursday’s game against the Ottawa Senators.
According to The Athletic’s Julian McKenzie, MacKinnon is expected to miss approximately one month, while Makar will be sidelined for the next two weeks. Head coach Jared Bednar also confirmed the timelines Saturday, with The Denver Post’s Corey Masisak reporting the latest update. The injuries leave Colorado without its leading scorer and one of the NHL’s top defensemen.
