Tanguay took an Alex Ovechkin slap shot to the face in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals. He left the game and didn't return. He later missed Saturday's 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
On Friday, the Avalanche announced Tanguay had suffered a facial fracture.
The veteran has 11 points in 20 games this season.
