Nazem Kadri, a forward for the Colorado Avalanche, will miss 'some games' due to a finger injury, as stated by head coach Jared Bednar. The Avalanche are optimistic about Kadri's return before the playoffs, potentially as early as next week. Currently, Colorado has five games left in the regular season, including a crucial matchup against the Calgary Flames. The Avalanche have already secured the Central Division title and the top seed in the Western Conference. A victory over Calgary would clinch the Presidents' Trophy, awarded to the team with the best record in the NHL. Kadri, who has scored four goals and provided five assists in 16 games since joining the team from the Calgary Flames on March 6, played a significant role in the Avalanche's Stanley Cup victory in 2022. In addition to Kadri, defenseman Cale Makar is also out due to an upper-body injury, missing his fifth straight game.
