Overview

  • Colorado officially listed Gabriel Landeskog as out week-to-week with a lower-body injury on March 8 after he briefly left the March 6 game in Dallas.
  • Reporters observed a dented athletic cup from the Cale Makar shot, though the team has not disclosed a specific diagnosis or any link to his prior knee surgeries.
  • Bednar said doctors projected a couple of weeks on the sidelines, while outside reporting notes the week-to-week tag commonly signals short-term uncertainty.
  • Re-acquired at the trade deadline, Nazem Kadri debuted Sunday on Nathan MacKinnon’s line and notched an assist as he helps cover Landeskog’s absence.
  • Colorado also added Nicolas Roy, who scored in his first game; Artturi Lehkonen remains out and Logan O’Connor is nearing a return, with the Avalanche leading the NHL at 43-10-9.
