The Colorado Avalanche limped through another game like the walking wounded they are. No, really, the injury bug is chomping away at them.
Even our captain is injured:
Butter knife, he says. No thanks, Gabe says.
At least he played. Tonight, the Avalanche had to play without four of their five top scorers. Mikko Rantanen and Nazem Kadri have been out since February. Cale Makar and Andre Burakovsky have been out the last couple games.
Also, according to the coaching staff, neither of those players will be going on the three-game road trip.
