The Colorado Avalanche are already facing a 3-0 deficit in their playoff series, and now they may be without one of the best players in the league. Coach Jared Bednar said the team will take a limited Nathan MacKinnon into the series, according to ESPN.
The timing is difficult. Colorado had just gotten reigning Norris Trophy winner Cale Makar back when the MacKinnon situation emerged. MacKinnon, a Hart Trophy finalist, is now listed as limited, though Bednar indicated the team would press forward rather than hold him out entirely.
No further details on the nature of MacKinnon's injury were immediately available.
