They hinted that his season may be over, as the star forward was rushed to Colorado this past weekend (while his team was on the road). A wrist injury suffered in a fight with the Wild's Matt Dumba was the cause.
Bednar reiterated (again yesterday) that the Avalanche's level of concern about MacKinnon's injury was "very high." As a result, many poolers and fans have begun to grieve for MacKinnon to finish the season.
Finally, this morning, a twist. Head coach Jared Bednar just said on "Altitude Radio" that Nathan MacKinnon would play tonight.
So they went from a "very high level of concern" to "he's going to play tonight" in record time. Anyway, this is great news, but many fans are wondering what just happened in this case.
