Avalanche's Cale Makar: 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.

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.
