SUNRSIE, Fla. — Devon Toews will miss his first game of the season Sunday night in South Florida.
Toews did not participate in warmups ahead of a game at Amerant Bank Arena against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. A team spokesman said the Avs’ No. 2 defenseman is out with an upper-body injury.
The 31-year-old missed about half of the third period Saturday in Raleigh after crashing into the end boards behind the Colorado net with 13:49 remaining in the third period. He did return for two shifts near the end of that contest.
