Coach Jared Bednar confirmed that the Colorado Avalanche will be without their leading goal scorer Ross Colton for six to eight weeks due to a broken foot, impacting their overall performance.
Colton, with eight goals, tied for third in the NHL, suffered the injury during the second period in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks, highlighting the team's struggle with consistency.
The Avalanche previously dealt with a rocky start, facing four losses in a row, but then found form with five consecutive wins, indicating fluctuations in their performance.
The team is also missing key forwards Jonathan Drouin and Arturri Lehkonen, creating significant challenges for generating goals as they fight to remain competitive in the wild-card race.
