Avalanche stars MacKinnon, Makar to miss weeks
The Colorado Avalanche will have to make do without their two biggest stars in the coming weeks.
The Colorado Avalanche will be without their top players, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, for several weeks due to injuries sustained in their recent game. Coach Jared Bednar announced that MacKinnon will miss at least one month after suffering a lower-body injury in the second period of their 4-3 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators.
The injury occurred when Senators defenseman Artem Zub cross-checked MacKinnon in the hip area. Meanwhile, Makar will be sidelined for around two weeks following a right leg injury while attempting to control the puck in the offensive zone. MacKinnon, who was named league MVP in 2024, has contributed 10 goals and 20 assists in 20 games this season.
Makar, a two-time Norris Trophy winner, has scored five goals and provided 18 assists in 19 games for Colorado this season.
