OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) \u2014 The Avalanche\u2019s top two stars, forward Nathan MacKinnon and defenseman Cale Makar, were ruled out after getting hurt in the second period of Colorado\u2019s 4-3 overtime loss to Ottawa on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The team said both sustained lower-body injuries with coach Jared Bednar having no immediate update on their status. Bednar said the two will travel with the team but are uncertain to play for Colorado’s game at Montreal on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
