Avalanche all-star Mikko Rantanen was evaluated Tuesday but there was no update provided on the seriousness of his lower-body injury sustained in the game at St. Louis Monday night. The team is expected to provide more information on Wednesday.
Rantanen, who has a team-tying-high 12 points for the Avs (7-1-1), was injured on his first shift of the second period in Monday’s 3-1 loss at St. Louis, suffering what appeared to be an ankle or knee injury when he toe-picked the ice while skating out of the defensive zone. He did not return.
The Avs, who finished 3-1-1 on their five-game road trip, had Tuesday off.
