Young NHL star's injury will likely keep him out for the rest of the season.

If the Colorado Avalanche had any hope of making the post season, those hopes have taken a huge blow. Currently 9 points back of Winnipeg the Colorado Avalanche have just announced that their young star, Nathan MacKinnon, will miss the next six to eight weeks with a fractured foot, effectively ending his season. It's been a rough stretch for MacKinnon who also broke his nose during his team's loss to the Minnesota Wild just this past Saturday. MacKinnon injured his foot in late February and x-rays came back negative, but after re-injuring it against the Penguins this week, a second set of x-rays revealed the extent of the damage. MacKinnon had 14 goals, 24 assists for 38 points in 64 games with the Avalanche this season.
