Colorado Avalanche star defenseman Cale Makar is expected to sit out a few games due to an upper-body injury, head coach Jared Bednar announced Wednesday.
'(He's) going to be OK. He's going to miss some time here. Nothing serious, though,' Bednar said Wednesday during his show on Altitude radio.
Makar sustained the injury during the second period of Monday's 9-2 win against the Calgary Flames on Monday in Denver. He did not play in the third period.
Makar, who finished with three assists, took a hard hit from Adam Klapka, finished the shift and played two more shifts. He was ruled out for the game late in the third.
Makar, 27, ranks third on the Avalanche with 75 points (20 goals, 55 assists).
Last June, Makar joined Hall of Fame members Bobby Orr (eight times), Denis Potvin and Paul Coffey (three times), and Rod Langway (two times) as players to win multiple Norris trophies before turning 27. Current Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson also won twice before his 27th birthday.
