DENVER (AP) — Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri will miss “some games” because of a finger injury, Colorado coach Jared Bednar said Thursday.
Bednar added the Avalanche hope to work him back into the lineup before the playoffs, maybe as soon as next week. The Avalanche have five games remaining, including Thursday night against the Calgary Flames.
Colorado has already clinched the Central Division and the top seed in the Western Conference. A win over Calgary wraps up the Presidents’ Trophy, which goes to the squad with the best NHL record.
Kadri was hurt in a 3-1 win over the Blues in St. Louis on Tuesday. He has four goals and five assists in 16 games since being acquired by Colorado as part of a trade deadline deal with the Flames on March 6.
