Nathan MacKinnon will not play Thursday night for the Colorado Avalanche and may miss the final three games of the regular season while dealing with a minor injury.

The Colorado Avalanche don’t have a ton to play for over their last three regular-season games — and they’ll likely have to play them without their best player. Nathan MacKinnon won’t suit up at home against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday,

MacKinnon isn't the only player sitting out the game against the Canucks. The Avalanche also will be without defensemen Ryan Lindgren (upper body) and Josh Manson (upper body), along with forward Jonathan Drouin (upper body).
