The Colorado Avalanche are facing a significant injury crisis as Devon Toews is sidelined with a lower-body injury for their game against the New York Islanders. This marks another setback for the team, which has already lost several key players this season.

Calvin de Haan will also miss the game but is a healthy scratch. Newcomers Oliver Kylington and John Ludvig will step in to fill the gaps. The Avalanche's injury woes extend to forwards Gabe Landeskog, Artturi Lehkonen, Valeri Nichushkin, and Jonathan Drouin, all of whom are also unavailable.
