He went on to miss Sunday's win over Edmonton and will be sidelined for at least two more contests now that he's back in the league's concussion protocol. With Makar on the shelf, look for Josh Manson to remain in the lineup versus the Jets and Calgary.

"Unless anything turns. Just a tough one. I got kind of bruised on the nose just because I think my visor hit it. But we'll see." He missed about 10 minutes of the final period.

Ruled out for Wednesday Makar (head) won't play Wednesday versus the Wild, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Makar's next chance to play will be Saturday versus the Blues. The 24-year-old defenseman is set for a fourth straight absence, though head coach Jared Bednar added that Josh Manson (lower body) could be an option to play Wednesday, which would help the Avalanche's injury-riddled defense.

Won't play Tuesday Makar (head) won't play Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Makar, who has been out since Feb. 7, doesn't have a timetable for his return. Based on that, it wouldn't be a surprise if he sat out Wednesday's game versus Minnesota as well. Still, he hasn't been officially ruled out for that contest yet. Makar has produced 13 goals, 45 points, 141 shots on net, 61 blocks and 58 hits in 45 games this season.

Following Saturday's road tilt against Florida, which Makar will miss, Colorado comes back home for a game against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. It's unclear if the blueliner will be ready to go.

Impact No penalty was called on Pittsburgh's Jeff Carter, and there's no word if the NHL Department of Player Safety will look into it.
