Colorado Avalanche receive a massive injury update regarding defenseman Ryan Lindgren

Just recently Colorado Avalanche newly acquired defenseman Ryan Lindgren sustained an upper-body injury against the Vegas Golden Knights, which resulted in him to be sidelined for the remainder of the Avalanche's season.

Despite it only being the Colorado Avalanche's last three games of the season, his injury could not have came at a worse time, as the Avalanche are reportedly set to start their playoff campaign this upcoming Saturday against the Dallas Stars.

On Tuesday afternoon, reports surfaced that confirmed defenseman Ryan Lindgren has returned to the ice, and even showed early before the team's practice to work with skills coach Toby Petersen.

Reports confirmed that Lindgren only skated with the team for about 15 minutes before leaving early. Something that leaves his status for the playoffs unknown. But this is certainly a step in the right direction.

However, the organization will know more about his status during Friday's practice, in terms of if he will be ready for game one or not.

The schedule has not yet been released but the expectation is for Game 1 to be on Saturday at American Airlines Center, with the start time expecting to be at 8:00PM CT, or 6:00PM MT.
