Avalanche's Cale Makar: Earns power-play helper

Makar posted a power-play assist, two shots on net and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Blues in Game 2.

Makar set up Nathan MacKinnon's first-period tally to give the Avalanche a 2-0 lead. The 22-year-old Makar has racked up a goal and an assist with the man advantage through two postseason games. He's likely to be one of the highest-scoring defensemen in the playoffs, especially if the Avalanche go on a deep run.
