Nathan MacKinnon to miss weeks with upper-body injury

When we were first updated on the condition of Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon, it was hoped that he would only miss a game or two. Coach Jared Bednar called the injury “day-to-day”, but offered little information about the injury.

After flying home to Denver to be re-evaluated by team doctors, we now know that Nathan MacKinnon could be out of the Avalanche lineup for up to a month.

This afternoon, the Avs’ official Twitter account sent the update that the NHL’s second leading scorer has a timeline of 2-4 weeks before he will be back in game action.
