Pots goal Friday Makar scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Makar remains one of the most productive blueliners in the NHL, so by now, fantasy managers should be used to seeing him finding ways to crack the scoresheet on a steady basis. Makar has recorded 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 10 games in January while also adding 19 shots on goal, seven hits and 16 blocked shots, so he's bringing the effort on both ends of the ice.

Records two points Monday Makar scored a goal on two shots and picked up a power-play assist in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Monday.

Impact Makar has three multi-point games over his last six outings, generating two goals and six assists, including five with the man advantage. At his current pace, the offensively-gifted blueliner should be capable of reaching the 90-point threshold for the third consecutive year and could even challenge for 100.

Contributes two power-play assists Makar logged two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Makar had gone four games without a multi-point effort. The defenseman had a hand in both of Brock Nelson's tallies during the Avalanche's third-period rally. Makar is up to 47 points (12 goals, 35 helpers), 115 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a plus-33 rating through 40 appearances this season. He's on pace to top his career-best 92 points from 80 regular-season outings a year ago, though his goal-scoring pace has dipped slightly compared to last year.

Ends mini slump with goal Makar scored a goal and took four shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kings.

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. That's the best example of the kind of value Makar brings to the table as a blueliner, as he remains an elite fantasy contributor due to his key role in one of the best teams in the NHL.
