Is Andrew Cogliano still playing? Has Cogliano won a Stanley Cup?

Cogliano (1,140 games played) became the 18th player in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup after playing 1,000 games.

Andrew Cogliano helped the Avalanche win their first NHL championship since 2001 with a six-game victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2022 Stanley Cup Final.

Is Andrew Cogliano still playing?

Cogliano has a fractured neck after Jordan Eberle checked him head-first into the boards in Game 6. The hit occurred late in the second period, and Cogliano somehow returned to the game in the third.

“He’s as tough as they come,” coach Jared Bednar said.

Cogliano is now considered out indefinitely.

Cogliano joins defenseman Josh Manson, Darren Helm and Gabriel Landeskog as players who will miss Game 7 with injury.

Valeri Nichushkin  is away from the team. That leaves Bednar with few lineup choices.

The Avalanche sent defenseman Brad Hunt to the AHL Colorado Eagles  before word came out about Cogliano’s injury.
