@kylefredrickson #Avs Evan Rodrigues is in concussion protocol, per Jared Bednar

@Peter_Baugh No Cale Makar or Evan Rodrigues at today's practice, though both were here for the team picture beforehand. Darren Helm is back from illness.Gabriel Landeskog is not skating with the group, which isn't a surprise. Bednar said yesterday he'll still be skating on his own.

@brennan_vogt Coach Bednar on @AltitudeSR on injured: EJ will be with the team full time from now on, Helm is close, Landy is still not close, Rodrigues we are waiting to see how he feels to determine how long he is out. Makar tweaked something #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL

@brennan_vogt Georgiev has doubled his career high in shutouts as the #Avs win their 6th straight. And they did this all without their top defensemen in the lineup. #GoAvsGo #NHL #HockeyTwitter @FullPressNHL https://t.co/flk8l9TjH7

@Peter_Baugh This is Denis Malgin's first-career three-point game. He has 12 points in 30 games with the Avs this year.
The #Avs acquired him for Dryden Hunt, a player they picked on waivers. Slick bit of work by the front office.

@rboulding Jared Bednar said Rodrigues left the game with an upper-body injury. Said it wasn't a concussion spotter thing, not yet.

@brennan_vogt Cale Makar is indeed out tonight for the #Avs #GoAvsGo @FullPressNHL https://t.co/Y7nVujZfc2

@Peter_Baugh Cale Makar tweaked something against Detroit. Felt good afterwards but was sore yesterday and today.
He's out tonight but the team isn't concerned, Jared Bednar said. Day-to-day, and they didn't want to risk worsening it.
Kurtis MacDermid will play in his place tonight.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 20, 2023
He now has 87 points on the season, tied with Tage Thompson and Mitch Marner for sixth in the league. He's played 11 fewer games than both those players.
Only Connor McDavid has a higher point per game rate than MacKinnon.

@kylefredrickson #Avs Jared Bednar says that Artturi Lehkonen underwent successful surgery for his broken finger. The timeline for Lehkonen’s return is 4-6 weeks.

@rboulding Johansson's first NHL win since Dec. 2, 2021. Outstanding moment for him.

@markhmasters Nathan MacKinnon has 15 goals in last 15 GPJared Bednar: "It looks like he's dialing his game up at the right time of year ... looks like he's getting back into playoff form. I like that, that your top players can elevate at the right times."https://t.co/pEVEUP86kC

@brennan_vogt Bednar on @AltitudeSR on Lehkonen: "We don't know how long it it will be yet, generally these things are 4-6 weeks. It's his top hand which is good." #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL

@Peter_Baugh Artturi Lehkonen has a broken finger. He will return to Denver for surgery.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 13, 2023
@Peter_Baugh Artturi Lehkonen (upper-body) will not return, per the team.

@rboulding We talked to Jared Bednar today about Gabriel Landeskog's medical timeline, and our best understanding of the process is that he:* Had surgery "at the bubble on his quad"* Had "surgery on his knee going into the playoffs"* Had a "procedure" in "November"
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 10, 2023
@rboulding ** This procedure was previously reported in Octobers as arthroscopic surgery, with a timeline of 12 weeks for recovery.** Today we were told this year's procedure was not as involved as the one prior to the playoffs. "The exact opposite" as far as severity.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 10, 2023
@Peter_Baugh Jared Bednar said Gabriel Landeskog’s knee surgery this fall was unrelated to the one he had last March, though “I’m sure it didn’t help.” The coach acknowledged he’s concerned, but he also thinks Landeskog could easily come out of this and be fine. Time will tell.
@Peter_Baugh From Bednar:•EJ is 3 wks into what the team originally thought was a 8-10 wk timeline•Bednar is “cautiously optimistic” Helm will return this yr•Hopeful Manson will return at end of month•Francouz recovering slower than expected. Still hopeful he’ll return this year
@Peter_Baugh Jared Bednar on if he needs to address Mikko Rantanen’s unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for jawing at refs: “Already have.”He said Rantanen can’t do that. The winger knows it. Bednar talked to him at intermission. He understood and was receptive, so Bednar didn’t bench him.
@kylefredrickson Good news: #Avs GM Chris MacFarland said there are no long-term concerns over the health of Valeri Nichushkin's surgically repaired ankle.
In late December, he shut down briefly with "complications" to that ankle. Still feels like there's been some burst missing from his game.
@brennan_vogt A couple things here, we all know a goalie is coming back. Makar and Manson may determine Hunt's status for Sat as well. Eagles play on Fri at home, #Avs in Dallas on Sat (leave Fri). #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL https://t.co/SjC37FNYzP
@brennan_vogt According to the NHL media site, Cale Makar is listed on IR. This could be to free up a roster spot for tonight... but it has been done. #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL https://t.co/XoOZOBm7LH
@RadioMoser Coach says Cale Makar is real close. Will skate with team today…COULD play tomorrow night. Landy still making progress, no timetable. https://t.co/AN4lFdPJOr

@rboulding Rantanen (58 GP) also became fastest player in Avalanche team history to reach 40 goals in a season, eclipsing the current mark set by Joe Sakic (65 GP in 1995-96).
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Feb 27, 2023
@Peter_Baugh #Avs GM Chris MacFarland said there isn't certainty about if Gabriel Landeskog will be back this season.
Asked if he's concerned about the timeline continuing to get pushed back, he said, "he's doing everything he can to get point, and we're very hopeful he will at some point."
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 27, 2023
@rboulding Per Bednar, MacDermid won't play tonight. He's in concussion protocol.
John Manson and Valeri NIchushkin took maintenance.
Makar is doing good but won't play tonight.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 27, 2023
@brennan_vogt Based on this, I would say that Makar is out for tonight. #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL https://t.co/8NK6QJD8uv

@Peter_Baugh Jack Johnson is expected to be in the #Avs lineup tomorrow. He didn't miss any of the 58 Chicago games this year, and since Colorado has played only 57 games, he has a chance to finish with 83 games played in a season.

— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Feb 26, 2023
@Peter_Baugh I can confirm that the #Avs are acquiring Jack Johnson from Chicago. He'll rejoin the team with which he won the Stanley Cup last year. @KevinWeekes had it first.
