The Colorado Avalanche will be without a Hart Trophy winner for the remainder of Tuesday’s game.
MacKinnon was driving the net during a scoring chance when he made contact with Ingram through the blue paint. Ingram immediately went down and appeared to be in pain.
Upon speaking with training staff, Ingram was able to skate off the ice on his own power with visible cuts on his head. Tristan Jarry entered the game in his place.
The referees called the five-minute major penalty for goaltender interference, which was confirmed upon a lengthy review.
MacKinnon, who won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player in 2024 and is in the running to receive it again this year, finished with 14:17 playing time and one shot on goal. In 61 games this season, the Cole Harbour, N.S., native has 104 points.
Ingram, 28, has been the de facto No. 1 amongst a struggle goalie tandem, starting 18 games with a .892 save percentage and 2.78 goals-against average.
