Game-Winner from Cale Makar Leads Avalanche in Win
5 years agoColorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar scored a pair of second-period goals on Saturday night, the second one being the eventual game-winner. Makar also logged a game-high seven shots on net, which is his highest shot total of the season. The rookie rearguard had plenty of hype surrounding him after debuting in the playoffs last season and has done everything to deliver on that hype so far with 17 points in 17 games. That includes eight power-play points, which trails only Nathan MacKinnon in Colorado. Injuries have hampered the top of Colorado's lineup, but Makar has stepped up in their absence, scoring seven points in his last five games. He seems able to produce regardless of the talent around him, making him a great fantasy asset.
