The Colorado Avalanche have now made an official announcement regarding forward Nathan MacKinnon, who was injured Monday night.
MacKinnon left last night with 8:13 remaining in the first period and did not return. It was reported that he would ''miss some time'' with an upper-body injury, and now we know just how long.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman shared the news:
''COL to be without Nathan MacKinnon (upper body) for approximately 4 weeks.''
MacKinnon is having a tremendous season, as he's registered 8 goals and 26 assists through 23 games.
The Boston Bruins will be facing a very depleted lineup when they travel to play the Avalanche Wednesday evening. As they are currently missing:
F - Gabriel Landeskog (knee) F - Valeri Nichushkin (ankle) F - Evan Rodrigues (lower body) F - Darren Helm F - Shane Bowers (upper body) D - Josh Manson D - Bowen Byram (lower body) D - Kurtis MacDermid (lower body)
