Impact Makar closed out the scoring for the Avs with his 12th goal of the season, a snap shot that went past Anton Forsberg at the 19:15 mark of the third period. Makar also snapped a brief two-game stretch with no points -- that was the first time this season where he had gone back-to-back games without cracking the scoresheet.

Adds three points in win Makar scored a power-play goal, tallied two assists and fired seven shots on net in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Makar played a hand in all three goals scored by Colorado across the first two periods of Sunday's contest. He assisted the tallies scored by Martin Necas and Nathan MacKinnon before scoring himself on a power play before the end of the second. With the three-point effort, Makar is up to 11 goals, 32 assists, 105 shots on net and 61 blocks through 35 appearances this season. After failing to find the scoresheet for just the third time since the start of November, Makar bounced back in a big way to help the Avs' defeat the Wild, where he outdueled the newly-acquired elite defenseman Quinn Hughes along the way. Makar remains the undisputed top blueliner to have in fantasy and is currently on pace for the century mark in points, which would be a new career high if he can continue his current quantity of production.
