Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar will be sidelined for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights, not the Knights, as reported by Reuters. The 24-year-old Makar has been a crucial component of the Avalanche's defense this postseason, helping the team secure a spot in the conference finals. His absence will undoubtedly be felt, as the Avalanche look to even the series and take on the Golden Knights in a crucial matchup. With Makar out, the Avalanche will likely rely on other defensemen to step up and fill the void, but it remains to be seen how the team will adapt to the loss of their key player.
