MacKinnon skated in a non-contact sweater during Monday's morning skate but will not play vs. the Coyotes. Head coach Jared Bednar said that MacKinnon is "doing great" and could play in their next game.






With Makar out for a second straight game, Devon Toews and Samuel Girard are expected to play massive minutes on Monday, as they did over the weekend. The next time we could see Makar is Friday vs. the Ducks.




O’Connor played 9:09 TOI on Wednesday but will come out of the lineup on Friday with Brandon Saad (personal) drawing back in.

MacDonald has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Conor Timmins in the lineup on Friday. MacDonald has one goal in six career NHL games.


Colton is a 24-year-old, former fourth-overall pick who has spent the last two years in Syracuse (AHL). He had 42 points (11G / 32A) in 62 games last year and has one goal and two assists in three games to start 2021.





Makar has missed the first two games since the Avalanche returned from a COVID-19 related break but will be a game-time decision on Saturday. Makar took part in practice on Friday, so it seems likely that he'll play in Lake Tahoe.
