Donskoi (concussion) will miss Monday's afternoon game vs. the Red Wings.

Donskoi ditched the non-contact sweater and was a full participant in Sunday's practice. Still, Donskoi will miss his fifth straight game and will take the 11 days between games to get back to 100 percent. Look for him to travel on their five-game road trip and return to the lineup on February 1st in Philadelphia.

Donskoi is in concussion protocol and is out indefinitely.

Donskoi was crushed in the neutral zone by Ryan Lindgren on Tuesday and did not return to the loss in New York. Lindgren was originally expected to have a hearing with the NHL DOPS but they decided not to suspend him after reviewing the hit. The Avalanche do not have a time table for Donskoi's return.

Donsoki (undisclosed) did not travel to Colorado for Game 3.

Donsoki has been out since Game 6 vs. the Golden Knights and the fact that he did not travel to Colorado for Game 3, suggests that he will remain sidelined for Game 4 as well. Lukas Radil will remain in the Sharks lineup while Donskoi is sidelined.
