Colorado Avalanche defenceman Cale Makar is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Anaheim Ducks while forward Andrew Cogliano has been ruled out as both players deal with lower-body injuries, head coach Jared Bednar said, per The Athletic's Peter Baugh.
Forward Valeri Nichushkin is likely to play.
Makar missed Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. He also missed the final 2:57 of the third period and overtime in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks on Saturday because of the injury.
Makar leads the league with 27 assists and is tied for the league lead with a plus-18 rating.
Cogliano has scored three goals, recorded four assists and 10 shots on net over 21 contests this season.
