DENVER—Colorado Avalanche rookie defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk will miss the game against Detroit on Monday night with a foot injury.
Shattenkirk took a shot off his foot in an overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday. He’s one of the top scoring rookie defensemen in the league this season with 20 points.
Taking Shattenkirk’s spot will be Jonas Holos, who has played only once in the last eight games.
Colorado coach Joe Sacco said after the morning skate that defenseman Kyle Cumiskey will accompany the team on their upcoming two-game road swing. Cumiskey has been out since Oct. 30 with a concussion.
Sacco also said that Chris Stewart will be available to practice later this week. He’s been sidelined since breaking his left hand Nov. 27.
