Set to miss more time Makar (upper body) will likely miss a few more games, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports Tuesday.

Impact Makar will miss his fourth straight game against St. Louis on Tuesday. He will probably sit out Thursday's matchup versus Calgary and Saturday's contest against Vegas. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup, but head coach Jared Bednar expects the 27-year-old blueliner to play before the end of the regular season. Makar has amassed 20 goals, 75 points, 192 shots on net and 118 blocked shots across 73 appearances this campaign.

Ruled out for next two games Makar (upper body) will not be an option for the Avs' next two contests, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Friday.

Impact At this point, Makar will likely miss the 90-point threshold for the first time since 2022-23. Despite his overall numbers being slightly down, the 27-year-old blueliner has already reached the 20-goal mark for the third straight year and is currently third among defensemen in points. Devon Toews figures to continue seeing a larger role, including on the power play, while Makar is sidelined.

Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar expected to miss a few games with upper-body injury

The Colorado Avalanche will be without defenseman Cale Makar for a few games after he suffered an upper-body injury in a win over Calgary earlier this week

APRIL 1 • Associated Press

Facing short-term absence Makar (upper body) is expected to miss a few games after head coach Jared Bednar told reporters Wednesday, "He's going to miss some time here. Nothing serious, though," Evan Rawal...

Impact While Makar will likely be sidelined for 2-3 games based on Bednar's comments, he should be available in time for the postseason, which is the priority for the Avs. With a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Stars and Blues, respectively, fantasy managers should probably expect him to miss both contests. In his last nine contests, the 27-year-old defenseman recorded one goal and eight assists, including six power-play points.

Sustains upper-body injury Monday Makar has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game versus Calgary due to an upper-body injury.

Impact Makar's last shift came late in the second period, and he wasn't on the bench to start the third. The superstar blueliner racked up three helpers, including two on the power play, and a plus-1 rating in 17:15 of ice time prior to exiting the contest. Until the Avalanche provide more information on Makar's status going forward, the 27-year-old can be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's home game against the Canucks.
