Colorado coach Jared Bednar said Saturday that Nathan MacKinnon is out at least a month and Cale Makar about two weeks with lower-body injuries suffered against Ottawa. MacKinnon left late in Thursday's loss to the Senators after a check from Artem Zub in the hip area, and Makar left shortly before him after a noncontact injury in the offensive zone. ESPN reported that the Avalanche, 11-6-3 and third in the Central Division, are already without Josh Manson, so Devon Toews and Sam Malinski will take on more minutes. Separately, Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal returned in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken in Helsinki, Finland, after a torn calf muscle suffered in a pregame skate on Oct. 10. He played 13:55, recorded one shot and is still seeking his first point of the season.
