REPORT: Cale Makar out INDEFINITELY
The Colorado Avalanche have been limping through the season this year. They have yet to ice a completely heathy lineup and they've played 77 games this season. Despite this though, the Avalanche are sitting ontop the Central division in first place.
Captain Gabriel Landeskog has missed the entire season, Mackinnon and Nichushkin have missed some time, and now Cale Makar is out again this season.
Yesterday at the morning skate, Jared Bednar the coach of the Avalanche confirmed that Cale Makar is out with a lower body injury:
#Avs Cale Makar and Darren Helm are out tonight again in San Jose, per Jared Bednar. He added they are new injuries (lower body) and not maintenance from previous health issues. He does not have a return timeline for either player.

Makar finished last season with the Norris Trophy, a Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe. He has only managed to get into 60 games this season, which has definitely taken him out of the runnings for the Norris this season.
It was finally starting to sound like the Avalanche were going to be healthy for the start of the playoffs, but this could be devastating news for the organization if Makar is not ready to go for game 1.
