So, uh, bad news today as Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar announced that Nathan MacKinnon is slated to miss at least a month and Cale Makar is going to miss approximately two weeks.
That news comes ahead of the Avalanche‘s final game of their three-game Canadian road trip before they head back home for a few days off.
MacKinnon suffered his injury after an awkward collision with Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub and then he limped down the tunnel and into the darkness that now engulfs this part of the Avalanche season.
Makar‘s injury was a non-contact injury but is also a lower-body injury that he has been battling on and off for much of this season.
The Avs will be tested
