Avalanche have no update on Cale Makar as they look to regroup from Game 1 loss to Golden Knights

DENVER — Forget motivational speeches. Colorado coach Jared Bednar simply let the game tape do the talking.

The Avalanche went over the video of their 4-2 loss to Vegas in the opener of the Western Conference Final. All things considered — no Cale Makar, defensive miscommunications, falling behind 3-0 — Bednar saw more that was quickly fixable than not, even if it might have been hard to watch again.
