Nathan MacKinnon Out at Least One Month with Lower-Body Injury

Colorado Avalanche superstar center Nathan MacKinnon will miss at least one month due to a lower-body injury sustained in Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators. MacKinnon grimaced in pain and left after taking a cross-check from Artem Zub in the offensive zone. The 31-year-old center was ruled out for Saturday's contest against Montreal and beyond. MacKinnon has recorded 10 goals, 30 points, and 71 shots over 20 games this season.
