The President Trophy Cup Winner Colorado Avalanche, dropped Game 1 against the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2.
A notably key player was missing on defense for the Avs. Star defenseman Cale Makar, sustained an upper-body injury in March, that has lingered into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Despite getting on the ice for a morning skate ahead of Game 2, head coach Jared Bednar announced that Makar will not be in tonight’s lineup.
Bednar did not comment further on the extent of Makar’s injury.
This is obviously not great news, as the 27-year-old is not the first blue line injury the Avalanche have dealt with this postseason. Colorado is also 1-3 in the playoffs with Makar.
