Avs' Kadri week-to-week with lower-body injury

Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury, head coach Jared Bednar said on Altitude Sports Radio, according to team play-by-play announcer Marc Moser.

An Avs spokesperson confirmed to TSN's Pierre LeBrun that Kadri is considered week-to-week.

Kadri went down awkwardly during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Wild.

The 29-year-old was enjoying a stellar first season with the Avalanche after arriving in an offseason trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He's provided Colorado with some valuable secondary scoring, ranking second on the team with 19 goals and fifth with 36 points.

The injury could potentially alter the Avalanche's deadline plans, though Jean-Gabriel Pageau of the Ottawa Senators is the only notable center expected to be made available.

The Avalanche sit second in the Central Division with 70 points.
