Avalanche's Cale Makar: Slated to miss two weeks
Makar (lower body) is expected to be sidelined for approximately two weeks, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Makar was forced to exit Thursday's contest in Ottawa with a lower-body injury. He also left one of Colorado's practices earlier in the week with a potential lower-body issue, but it remains unknown whether the two injuries are related. Makar's absence will be a tough loss for the Avs, as he's compiled five goals, 23 points, a plus-4 rating, 49 shots on net and 22 blocked shots over 19 outings this season. In his absence, Alex Gagne will likely enter Colorado's lineup for Saturday's clash and potentially beyond.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Suffers lower-body injury
Makar exited Thursday's game against Ottawa and won't return to the match because of a lower-body injury.
Makar had two shots in 13:57 of ice time before exiting the game. He has five goals and 23 points in 19 appearances in 2026-27, including Thursday's action. There is no replacing Makar, but Alex Gagne might make his NHL debut Saturday in Montreal if Makar is on the shelf.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Just 12 points in last six games
Makar picked up two assists Tuesday in a 6-3 victory over the Maple Leafs.
Makar has five points, including four assists, in his last two games and 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in his last six games. His 23 points this season put him third on the scoring list for defenders and in a two-way tie for 16th overall among all scorers. Makar also has 21 blocks (18 games) which means he's flirting with his first 100-point and fifth 100-block season. He continues to cement his legacy as one of the best defenders to ever play the game. His 1.08 point-per-game pace heading into Tuesday was third to Bobby Orr (1.39) and Paul Coffey (1.09).

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Good to go Tuesday
Makar (lower body) will play against Toronto on Tuesday, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Makar left Sunday's practice early as a precaution because of a lower-body issue. However, he has declared himself fit to play against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Makar has amassed five goals, 21 points, 46 shots on net and 20 blocked shots in 17 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Earns trio of power-play points
Makar scored a goal on two shots and added two assists, all on the power play, in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.
Makar has earned 10 points, including five on the power play, over his last five contests. The 28-year-old defenseman had endured a 10-game goal drought earlier in the season, but his scoring touch looks to be back. He's at five goals, 16 assists, 46 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 17 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: 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.
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.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: 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.
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.

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