While we await the opponents and the start of the Stanley Cup Final, the Colorado Avalanche are taking advantage of the extra time off. They are going to need it, as there are some injury worries. These come primarily from the forward positions.
We’ve seen at forward injuries from Nazem Kadri, Andre Burakovsky, Nicolas Aube-Kubel, and Andrew Cogliano. Kadri may be out for the rest of the season, but we will see how his recovery goes and nothing is being ruled out at the moment. Kadri even said himself on Instagram “we’ll see.”
Burakovsky and Aube-Kubel were each recovering from blocking shots in the Western Conference Finals.
