Injured Avs
Jesse Montano: Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said that forward Andre Burakovsky had suffered a broken ankle and broken right thumb. He had surgery on the thumb.
Mike Chambers: Avalanche defenseman Sam Girard had been out with the broken sternum that he suffered in Game 3 of round two against the St. Louis Blues. Girard said he’s about a month away from starting upper-body rehab.
Valeri Nichushkin played through a foot injury last night and couldn’t get his skate on without medical assistance, according to a league source. Once he had the skate on, it was a question of playing through the pain, which he was able to do for nearly 23 minutes of ice time. pic.twitter.com/VFTaWzhVgU
