Colorado Avalanche fans are bracing for a brief injury setback as star defenseman Cale Makar will sit out a few games due to an upper-body injury sustained in the team's recent win over the Calgary Flames. Makar's absence is a significant blow to the Avalanche's defense, as he is a key contributor to the team's success and a crucial part of their power play unit. The team will likely rely on other defenders such as Samuel Girard and Erik Johnson to fill the void left by Makar's injury. As the Avalanche looks to maintain their momentum in the standings, they will need to navigate this temporary setback without one of their top players.

The Avalanche will be without defenseman Cale Makar for a few games after he suffered an upper-body injury in a win over the Flames earlier this week.
