Andrew Cogliano Out with Neck Injury<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The veteran forward was injured in Game 6 after getting a hit from behind from Seattle Kraken forward <\/span><\/span>Jordan Eberle<\/span><\/span><\/a>. Cogliano went into the boards during the second period of the Avalanche’s Game 6 win. He went down the tunnel, but returned for the third period of the game. Eberle was assessed a two-minute minor. However, no other disciplinary action has been taken as of press time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cogliano has been the centre of Colorado’s third line with Matt Nieto and <\/span><\/span>Logan O’Connor<\/span><\/span><\/a>. The veteran pivot had 10 goals and nine assists for 19 points in 79 games during the 2022-23 campaign. He’s yet to get a point in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season with the Avalanche.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Head coach Jared Bednar expressed frustration with the inconsistency in the officiating. Colorado defenceman <\/span><\/span>Cale Makar<\/span><\/span><\/a> was suspended<\/span><\/span><\/a> for a hit on <\/span><\/span>Jared McCann<\/span><\/span><\/a> earlier in the series.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“I don’t know,” Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar\u00a0told reporters<\/a> when discussing the league’s decision to not have a disciplinary hearing for Eberle. “I can’t figure it out anymore, so I don’t even try.”<\/p>\n

What Andrew Cogliano Being Out Means<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Avs will have to make due without the Toronto native in the lineup. <\/span><\/span>Alex Newhook<\/span><\/span><\/a> will likely get moved up to the third line to replace Cogliano. Newhook had 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points in 82 games.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The lack of any discipline also might raise some red flags with the lack of consistency from the Department of Player Safety. Some of the punishments or non-punishments have been questionable in the playoffs. Hockey is the fastest team game on the planet and the officials are usually good. However, DPOS has hand out punishment when warranted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
