Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon will make his season debut Tuesday against the Washington Capitals, head coach Jared Bednar confirmed, according to The Associated Press' Stephen Whyno.
The forward registered two negative COVID-19 tests and reportedly flew to Washington, D.C. late last night, per The Athletic's Peter Baugh. The Avalanche confirmed his arrival Tuesday morning.
MacKinnon missed the Avalanche's first two games of the season after testing positive for COVID-19 over a week ago.
More to come.
