Colorado Avalanche superstar Cale Makar is unavailable for Sunday's clash against the Los Angeles Kings due to a lower-body injury, head coach Jared Bednar said, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Makar missed the final few minutes of regulation and the entire overtime during Saturday's shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
Bednar added he doesn't know if Makar will miss time beyond Sunday's game. The Avalanche play the Ducks again Tuesday.
Makar's appeared in all of Colorado's 23 contests this season, leading the club with 34 points while averaging more than 24 minutes of ice time per contest. Multiple ailments limited the 2022 Norris and Conn Smythe winner to 60 appearances last season.
Sunday's tilt between the Avalanche and Kings features two of the best teams in the Western Conference. Both clubs have won seven of their past 10 games and are top four in their conference in points percentage.
