This isn’t the first injury scare Nathan MacKinnon has had of these playoffs, but given the must-win nature of Sunday’s Game 3, Colorado Avalanche fans are rightfully worried about their star’s health.
During the second period of Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against the Vegas Golden Knights, MacKinnon blocked a shot off the right side of his knee while in the defensive zone. MacKinnon was down on the ice for a few moments in clear pain before being helped up by his teammates. He made his way to the Avalanche bench under his own power.
