MacKinnon exits Avalanche game with apparent midsection injury

Nathan MacKinnon left the Colorado Avalanche's game against the Ottawa Senators in the second period on November 12, 2026, after suffering an apparent midsection injury, thought to involve his hip. The incident occurred following a collision with defenseman Artem Zub. MacKinnon skated to the bench but later exited down the tunnel. Earlier in the period, teammate Cale Makar also left the game due to a lower-body injury. Despite these injuries, the Avalanche managed to score a power-play goal to narrow the deficit. Parker Kelly subsequently also exited the game with an injury.
