MacKinnon is believed to have suffered a broken nose in Saturday's game against the Wild, the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

MacKinnon's injury likely stemmed from a hit laid on him by the Wild's Sean Bergenheim in the third period of Saturday's game. While broken noses can be painful, it is still something most players can play through, so it's quite possible MacKinnon will be back in the lineup for the team's next game Wednesday against the Penguins, but owners should keep an eye out for a status update prior to the opening faceoff.
