Is playing tonight
There are three more games ahead of the NHL All-Star break, including tonight in Chicago. McKinnon is considered a player for the Central Division team. Will he be able to play in the game? We don’t know.
We all know what Coach said this morning in Chicago. Many think that McKinnon may have suffered the brunt of the injury when his head hit the ice—not the stick that hit him in the face from that collision with Taylor Hall. Who knows. We all know Avs’ top-of-the-line center is going to be out for a while.
Concussion diagnosis worries me more than facial fractures. We just have to hope it doesn’t last long.
Salary
His annual salary is $5 million. According to sources, his net worth is estimated at $15 million.
What happened to
The AVS said McKinnon suffered an upper body injury after the Bruins absorbed a shoulder shot from Taylor Hall.
The hit caused McKinnon’s own stick to fall back into his face. As McKinnon lay on his face, blood started pouring down his nose towards the snow.
McKinnon, a five-time All-Star, was able to skate on his own, but did not return. Avalanche coach Jared Bedner said McKinnon was treated at the arena, and was feeling better when he left for home before the end of the game. He will be evaluated on Thursday.
Hall was originally given a five-minute major which was reduced to two minutes after video review.
“I believe he probably made the right call with two (minutes) going,” Bednar said. “But it’s the type of hit, whether it’s a really solid or just a catchy blow, it’s the kind of hit the league is trying to get rid of.” The AVS won 4–3 in overtime for their 17th consecutive home win.
