Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon was injured in the game against the LA Kings. The team has announced he’ll be out one to two weeks.
That’s great. Cancel the season.
Obviously I know that’s an overreaction. The Avalanche are currently second in the Western Conference. They’re just two points out with a game in hand over the St. Louis Blues. In other words, they’re in a good position to withstand a hit.
The hit could be a big one, though. The Avs are currently in play every-other-day mode. If you count MacKinnon out for the full two weeks, he could potentially miss eight games.
