Today has been a rollercoaster of a ride for Avalanche fans. The playoffs are quickly coming, and the Avalanche have only three regular season games remaining, and they just got hit with more injury news.
Earlier today, head coach Jared Bednar revealed that Nathan MacKinnon will not play tonight after suffering an injury, and there is a good chance that he won't play another regular season game.
The Colorado Avalanche did get some good injury news today as well, as Bednar did state that both Martin Necas and Samuel Girard will be returning to the lineup after missing multiple games due to injuries as well.
But with that, they got some bad news as another defenseman will not be sidelined for the Avalanche.

It's unclear whether or not Lindgren is going to be out long-term, or if he is listed as day-to-day, but losing him is a tough blow for the Avalanche right before the playoffs.
