Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar has made it clear that his team will take a limited approach with star forward Nathan MacKinnon, who suffered an injury in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Dallas Stars. The Avalanche trail the series 3-0, putting immense pressure on MacKinnon and his teammates to mount a comeback. Despite the crucial situation, Bednar has decided to prioritize MacKinnon's long-term health, opting to limit his ice time and playing opportunities in a bid to prevent further damage. The decision will undoubtedly be scrutinized, as the Avalanche look to avoid a historic playoff sweep.
