by from on (#3BS5E)
The Colorado Avalanche will be without defenseman Tyson Barrie for four-to-six weeks, head coach Jared Bednar revealed Wednesday, per Mike Chambers of the Denver Post.
Barrie suffered a fractured hand after blocking an Oliver Ekman-Larsson shot in the first period of a game on Dec. 23.
His absence will be a big blow to a team flirting with playoff contention. Through 34 games, Barrie recorded four goals and 27 assists, good for third in points among all Avalanche.
