Coach Jared Bednar Has Fractures From a Puck to the Face, Won’t Go on Avalanche Road Trip
A team spokesperson said Bednar was alert and conscious before being taken for a CT scan and further evaluation.
- On Saturday, Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar was taken to a hospital after being hit in the right cheek by a puck during a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. He remained fully alert and conscious.
- The injury occurred with 16:39 left in the third period when a puck flew off the stick of Knights defenseman Keegan Kolesar and sailed over the boards into the bench area where Bednar stood.
- Assistant coach Dave Hakstol assumed Bednar's duties for the remainder of the game, while trainers helped the coach to the dressing room with a towel pressed to his head for a CT scan and evaluation.
- "It's certainly a little unnerving," assistant coach Nolan Pratt said after the game. Pratt said the team would have a better update on Bednar's condition on Sunday, April 12.
- The Avalanche travel to Edmonton on Sunday to begin a two-game road trip with three games remaining in the regular season. It remains undetermined whether Bednar will accompany the team.
