Cale Makar Expected to Miss Two Weeks Due to Lower-Body Injury

Colorado Avalanche star defenseman Cale Makar is expected to be sidelined for approximately two weeks after suffering a lower-body injury during Thursday's loss to Ottawa. Makar left the ice after awkwardly trying to collect a loose puck in the second period, returned briefly, and then left for good. Makar has been a key contributor on Colorado's blue line with five goals, 23 points, and 49 shots on net in 19 games this season.
