Avs lose MacKinnon, Makar to injury in 4-3 overtime loss at Ottawa
- On Thursday, The Colorado Avalanche stars Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar both sustained lower-body injuries during their game against the Ottawa Senators, exiting the contest in the second period and not returning.
- MacKinnon left the game after receiving a cross-check from Senators defenseman Artem Zub, while Makar exited following a non-contact injury while battling Zub for the puck during the second period.
- Entering Thursday's contest, MacKinnon ranked fifth in the NHL with 30 points, while Makar, a two-time Norris Trophy-winner, ranked third among defensemen with 23 points in 18 games.
- Similar injuries previously affected The Colorado Avalanche during last season's Western Conference finals, contributing to the team's sweep by the Vegas Golden Knights when both players were managing health issues.
- Makar had left practice early on Sunday and was playing in just his second game since that incident when Thursday's injury occurred, raising concerns about the defenseman's availability moving forward.
