Avalanche's Cale Makar: Nearing return

Makar (concussion) could return to action as soon as Wednesday versus New Jersey, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.

It wouldn't be surprising to see Makar's status against the Devils boil down to a game-time decision. The outstanding defenseman has racked up 13 goals and 45 points through 46 contests this season.
