Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon won't play Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings out of precaution due to a lingering lower-body injury, head coach Jared Bednar announced.
MacKinnon's lower-body issue hasn't been getting better, Bednar added, per The Athletic's Peter Baugh.
Bednar is hopeful his star center will return on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets.
MacKinnon has recorded 48 points in 36 games this season.
