We still don’t know if Nathan MacKinnon is going to dress for the Colorado Avalanche in Game 4 on Tuesday night. And according to Jared Bednar, neither does the team.
MacKinnon was injured late in the second period of Game 3 after blocking a shot with his knee. As soon as it happened, he went down to the ice in pain. After several attempts to get up and continue play, the officials blew the whistle to give the superstar center time to gather himself.
The third period began without MacKinnon on the bench. But he later appeared, played a few laborious shifts, and didn’t see the ice again until a late, ineffective power play after the Avs went down 4-3.
MacKinnon’s status, along with Valeri Nichushkin, who also left Game 3 with an upper-body injury, is unknown.
“Those guys are getting treatment, they’re getting evaluated,” Bednar said on Monday. “It could be tomorrow morning before we know, it could be game time before we know. So we just plan for all scenarios, and then go from there.”
The Avs are trailing 3-0 to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final.
