Cale Makar Suffers Lower-Body Injury Against Ottawa Senators

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar exited Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators with a lower-body injury and did not return. Makar logged two shots in 13:57 of ice time prior to his departure. The elite blueliner has registered five goals and 23 points across 19 appearances during the 2026-27 season. Defenseman Alex Gagne may make his NHL debut Saturday in Montreal if Makar is sidelined.
