The Colorado Avalanche are reportedly going to be without six of their top players for the remainder of the regular season after some injury news.
Colorado basically has the third seed in the Central Division locked up ahead of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and for the remainder of their games they are going to have a very different looking lineup.
With the Avalanche basically having the third seed locked, it seems like they are going to have a rematch with the Dallas Stars, this time in the first round.
The Avalanche went out and stacked up during the NHL trade deadline, but so did the Dallas Stars whenever they acquired Mikko Rantanen.
Colorado To Be Without Six Top Players For Remainder Of Games
A recent announcement from Colorado Avalanche insider Evan Rawal revealed that the Colorado Avalanche are going to be without Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Ross Colton, Jonathan Drouin, Ryan Lindgren and Josh Manson.
Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Ross Colton, Jonathan Drouin, Josh Manson, and Ryan Lindgren will not go on this trip for the Avalanche.
Every player that will not be traveling with the team for the last two games of the regular season is dealing with an injury, except for Cale Makar who is sitting out to rest before the playoffs.
Bednar revealed that he would like to rest Cale Makar along with Devon Toews for a couple of games, but it seems like Toews might not get the chance.
MacKinnon recently missed a game after suffering a minor injury, that left him considered day-to-day, but he is expected to be back in time for playoffs.
Colton, Drouin, Manson, and Lindgren are also all listed as day-to-day for the Colorado Avalanche but are also expected to be back for game 1 of the playoffs.
The Avalanche may also get captain Gabriel Landeskog back for the playoffs as he is currently on a conditioning stint with the Colorado Eagles.
If completely healthy, the Colorado Avalanche are going to be a scary team in the playoffs this year, and if they get Landeskog back that will just add to it!
