MacKinnon will play for Avalanche in Game 4 of Western Final

Nathan MacKinnon will play for the Colorado Avalanche in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena, despite injuring his right knee blocking a shot from Shea Theodore in Game 3 on Sunday. Coach Jared Bednar confirmed MacKinnon is feeling much better and will not have his role limited as it was in the 5-3 Game 3 loss. Colorado, the Presidents' Trophy winners with 121 points this season, trails the best-of-7 series 3-0, while MacKinnon enters the game having scored 53 regular-season goals and tallying 15 points in 12 playoff games.
