Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon left Friday's game against the Anaheim Ducks after taking a stick blade to the eye.

MacKinnon was caught with Ducks pivot Derek Grant's stick and fell to the ice holding his eye in obvious pain.

The Avalanche later confirmed MacKinnon's injury was indeed an eye issue, and that he wouldn't return to the game.

No timetable for his return nor severity of the injury was given.
