This just in, Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon has tested positive for COVID-19.




Earlier in the day the Avalanche had announced that MacKinnon was not at practice due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, but did not confirm whether or not MacKinnon in fact had tested positive for the virus. But now GM Joe Sakic has confirmed that his superstar is indeed on the shelf with COVID-19. He'll be quarantined from the team for an indeterminate amount of time, but needless to say that this is HUGE blow to the Avalanche lineup.
