Following his team's overtime win over the Calgary Flames on Friday, Colorado Avalanche head coach Patrick Roy announced defenseman Eric Gelinas will be out indefinitely with an elbow injury.
The blue-liner left for the dressing room in obvious pain after being hit into the boards. Gelinas was acquired from the New Jersey Devils in a trade-deadline deal in exchange for a third-round pick.
Star forward Nathan MacKinnon also left the game after suffering a knee injury. He will be re-evaluated Saturday. Meanwhile, Matt Duchene was scratched before puck drop due to a knee injury suffered Wednesday. He is considered day-to-day.
