After a 9-2 victory over the Calgary Flames,<\/a> Colorado Avalanche<\/a> fans held their breath awaiting an injury update on star defenseman Cale Makar.
Per an injury report from NHL.com<\/a>, “The defenseman had three assists in the win, including the primary assist on Nathan MacKinnon<\/a>’s power-play goal with 35 seconds left in the second period on what was his final shift of the game. Two shifts earlier, Makar was hit by Flames forward Adam Klapka<\/a> with 5:28 left in the second period. Makar did not take any shifts in the third period.”
Avalanche head coach Jared Bedhar<\/a> confirmed Makar’s upper-body injury in a postgame press conference, but offered no details of a timeline.
Not great video. Possible separated shoulder for Makar
Time off depends on type. Can be as short as day-to-day and can be as bad as needing surgery. NHLers often miss a couple weeks
Of note, you can play with taping\/support + injections (what McAvoy tried at 4Nations) https:\/\/t.co\/ZRHgwu8jUG<\/a>
