- Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar was struck in the side of the head by a rogue puck during Saturday's game against the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
- The incident occurred when Knights forward Keegan Kolesar overshot a bank shot, causing the puck to hit Bednar on the Avalanche bench.
- Bednar suffered facial fractures and a corneal abrasion, leading to his removal from the game and subsequent hospitalisation for a CT scan.
- He is expected to make a full recovery and will not require surgery for his injuries.
- Bednar will miss the team's upcoming two-game road trip, with assistant coaches Nolan Pratt and Dave Hakstol stepping in to coach the team.
