  Makar will be in the lineup for Monday's Game 3 against the Flames. This news isn't a huge surprise after Makar was signed out of the University of Massachusetts on Sunday. The Avalanche were dealt an injury blow, however, with Samuel Girard out with an undisclosed injury. In his stead, Makar is expected to enter the lineup on the third defensive pair with Patrik Nemeth, and should see some power-play time on the second unit. The recently-crowned Hobey Baker winner will have huge expectations heading into his professional debut for Game 3.

  Makar picked up an assist in the University of Massachusetts's 4-3 overtime victory over the University of Denver in Frozen Four action Thursday. Makar and the Minutemen will play for the NCAA Championship against Minnesota-Duluth on Saturday.

After Saturday's game is complete, Makar is expected to immediately sign with Colorado and enter the lineup for its first-round playoff series against Calgary. Considering the Avalanche were shut out 4-0 in Game 1 on Thursday, Colorado can certainly use the offensive spark that the 2017 fourth overall selection will undoubtedly provide. Makar is legitimately one of the best players in the world not currently playing in the NHL.
