Avalanche Star Cale Makar Suspended 1 Game for Hit That Injured Kraken's Jared McCann

Seattle Kraken's leading scorer Jared McCann will miss Game 5 after sustaining an injury from a hit by Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar.
Makar has been suspended for one game by the NHL Department of Player Safety for interference on McCann.
The Avalanche will be without Makar, one of the league's best defensemen, for Game 5 as they look to take a series lead.
McCann's injury and Makar's suspension add intrigue to an already dramatic first-round playoff series.
The Kraken defeated the Avalanche in overtime in Game 4 after McCann exited with his injury.
