Nathan MacKinnon will play tonight, per Bednar

From doom and gloom to rainbows and sunshine. We broke the somewhat shocking news to you yesterday that Nathan MacKinnon was seen skating and shooting pucks with seemingly no restraints, a day after Jared Bednar said that was “high” concern about a possible serious injury.

This morning on his Altitude weekly radio show, Bednar said MacKinnon will play tonight against the San Jose Sharks at Ball Arena.

So, nothing to see here, move along.

Kind of a crazy story, but as I have preached to my choir here many times: never be shocked by anything in hockey.

We’ll have more of an update with fresh words from the coach after the morning skate.
