The 28-year-old defenseman had endured a 10-game goal drought earlier in the season, but his scoring touch looks to be back.

Two points in Tuesday's loss Makar produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact The superstar defenseman got the Avs on the board midway through the first period, sneaking in from the blue line and snapping the puck into a wide-open cage after a slick feed from Nathan MacKinnon, but Colorado was already in a 2-0 hole at that point. Makar has piled up a goal and six helpers during a three-game point streak, and on the season he's delivered four goals and 18 points in 15 contests, and he hasn't really gotten going yet on the power play -- he has just four assists with the man advantage.

Distributes four helpers in win Makar registered four assists, three shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Makar has always been good against his hometown team, but he's taken it up a notch lately. He has at least three points in each of his last four games against the Flames, with Saturday's four-point performance being his best effort in the matchup. For the season, he's at three goals, 12 helpers, 37 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 13 appearances. He's earned just two of his helpers on the power play and should be able to be more productive in that situation as the season progresses.

One of the CLOSEST goals you'll EVER see 😱

Two assists but no goals in five games Makar set up two goals in a 4-3 loss to New Jersey on Tuesday.

Impact He fired three shots and blocked four. Makar has two, two-point games in his last three contests, but he hasn't potted a goal in five contests. That wouldn't be noteworthy, per se, if he was your standard NHL QB. But Makar has 50 goals in his last two seasons and 71 across his last three. And two 90-plus point campaigns in that span. He'll bounce back up, but there may be a slight reduction in his output short term -- being a new dad is hard enough, but being the dad of twins born last Wednesday is enough to upset the cadence of game days and sleep cycles.

Impact Makar wasn't able to get on the scoresheet Wednesday after the birth of his twin sons, but he bounced back in his second game back in the lineup. The 27-year-old defenseman should be elite in a top-pairing role for the remainder of the season. He's already amassed three goals, six helpers, 17 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over seven outings this season.

Impact Makar missed Tuesday's game in Dallas while awaiting the birth of his newborn twins. The 27-year-old was pictured arriving to Ball Arena by a team photographer Wednesday, which strongly suggests he'll be available and in the lineup for the rematch against the Stars.
