Nathan MacKinnon Injury Update: Latest News on Avalanche Star After Taking Puck to Knee vs. Golden Knights
MacKinnon left briefly after blocking Shea Theodore’s shot and returned for limited shifts as Colorado fell behind 3-0 in the series.
- On Sunday in Las Vegas, the Avalanche lost 5-3 to the Vegas Golden Knights, with star center Nathan MacKinnon leaving the game after blocking a shot in the second period.
- Colorado entered the playoffs as the Stanley Cup-favorite after capturing the Presidents' Trophy, yet now faces a 3-0 series deficit with one loss eliminating them from the Western Conference Final.
- With star defenseman Cale Makar returning to the lineup, early goals from Forward Gabriel Landeskog, Nazem Kadri, and Jack Drury built a 3-0 lead, yet the team had a 74-1 franchise record when leading by three or more goals.
- Golden Knights captain Mark Stone, Tomas Hertl, and Keegan Kolesar orchestrated the rally, prompting coach Jared Bednar to say "It's as low as it can get" after the defeat.
- Teams taking a 3-0 series lead are 49-0 in NHL history, and only four teams have ever successfully rallied from such a deficit, making the Avalanche's path extraordinarily difficult.
