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

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon is expected to miss at least one month due to a lower-body injury, head coach Jared Bednar confirmed Saturday. MacKinnon exited in the second period of Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa, holding his right hip after a shove from Senators defenseman Artem Zub. The star forward leads the team's offensive attack with 10 goals and 20 assists through the campaign so far.
