BUFFALO — The Colorado Avalanche is going to limp home from this three-game road trip with back-to-back shutout losses, but a fortunate diagnosis after a scary situation could be significant.
Cale Makar left the game near the end of the second period Sunday after crashing awkwardly into the end boards, but he was able to return and play in the third, and said he should be fine moving forward following a 4-0 defeat against the Buffalo Sabres.
“I don’t really remember (what happened), to be honest with you,” Makar said of the incident. “I think a lot of it’s on me, going back slow, no effort.
