Secures 20-goal, 60-point campaign Makar scored a goal on eight shots, dished a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Makar's tally early in the second period tied the game at 1-1. He also helped out on Martin Necas' goal late in that frame. Makar has reached the 20-goal mark for the third time in the last four seasons, and he's also secured his fourth straight 60-point season. He's collected 169 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating. Makar would need to pick up the pace a little bit to match his 90-point 2023-24 regular season.

Logs helper in victory Makar produced a power-play assist in a team-high 26:51 of ice time in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Flyers.

Impact Makar earned the primary helper on Nathan MacKinnon's 20th goal of the season late in the middle frame. Makar has had the goal-scoring touch of late, but he has only four helpers over his last 16 outings. That trend is unlikely to continue, considering Makar is one of the best playmakers in the world. The star defenseman is at 19 goals, 58 points and a plus-15 rating through 54 appearances this campaign. Makar and the Avalanche will kick off a three-game road trip in Vancouver on Tuesday.

Tallies on power play Makar scored a power-play goal and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blues.

Impact Makar has been finding twine regularly of late, scoring six times and adding an assist over his last seven contests. His goal Friday stretched the Avalanche's lead to 4-0. Makar is up to 19 tallies, 57 points (23 on the power play), 155 shots on net, 86 blocked shots, 40 hits and a plus-15 rating through 53 appearances. Makar could have a chance to take a run at the 30-goal mark in 2024-25 -- only one defenseman (Mike Green for the Capitals in 2008-09) has achieved that mark in the salary cap era.

Trio of points Makar scored two goals in the first period and dished the game-winning assist in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

Impact Makar's performance featured a bit of everything, adding two shots on net, two blocked shots and two penalty minutes to his impressive offensive stat line. He broke the 2-2 tie late in the first period with a power play goal on feeds from Nathan MacKinnon and newly acquired forward Martin Necas. He also showed his ability on both sides of the puck by picking up a steal before dishing to Artturi Lehkonen for the game-winner. The 26-year-old blueliner is up to 18 goals, 38 assists, 56 points and 151 shots on goal in 51 appearances this season. The 2022 Norris Trophy winner has put together a season to once again be in the conversation for the award. He leads all defensemen in goals and will look to add to his campaign totals Tuesday against the Islanders.
