Colorado Avalanche: Nathan MacKinnon in Full Contact Practice

The Colorado Avalanche held an optional practice today. Typically stars don’t take part in optional practices. However, when you’re a star on the mend looking to return to game form, you do.

Nathan MacKinnon took part in today’s practice wearing his usual practice jersey. The no-contact jersey is gone, and he’s ready to return to normal practice.

Here’s Denver Post writer Mike Chambers reporting that MacKinnon is in the full contact jersey:

Nathan MacKinnon appears cleared to play Friday at WPG. That’s unofficial but he has a regular sweater this AM #Avs pic.
