Avalanche’s Makar Out, Nichushkin & Roy Return

Head coach Jared Bednar confirmed that Makar, who sustained an injury from Adam Klapka on March 30, will likely sit out a few more contests but return before the season ends.

To bolster the forward group against the St. Louis Blues, Valeri Nichushkin and Nicolas Roy are back in the lineup, replacing Joel Kiviranta and Zakir Bardakov.
