Colorado Avalanche star defenseman Cale Makar won't play in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday, head coach Jared Bednar announced.
Makar is day-to-day with an injury, and Bednar expects him to play in the series. Makar appeared to sustain an injury in Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild. He briefly left the game but returned as the Avalanche closed out the series.
