Avalanche's Cale Makar: Due to skate
Makar (undisclosed) is scheduled to skate either Sunday or Monday, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
Makar didn't start training camp for undisclosed reasons, but he's expected to begin skating at practice imminently. Given that return window, the earliest Makar could appear in a game would be Thursday's preseason matchup with Minnesota.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Not ready for start of camp
Makar (undisclosed) will miss time early in training camp but is expected to be full-go next week, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Makar is considered day-to-day for now. It's a little concerning that he's already dealing with an injury to begin training camp, but there's little reason to expect this issue will spill over into the regular season. Makar was limited to 60 games last season but produced 66 points, including 30 on the power play.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Contributes two assists vs. Seattle
Makar, who returned from a one-game suspension, notched two assists in a 4-1 victory over Seattle in Game 6 on Friday.
Makar has a goal and five points in five playoff outings this year. He helped out on both of Artturi Lehkonen's tallies in his return. Makar logged a series-high 26:53 of ice time Friday, including 7:06 with the man advantage. It's likely Colorado will continue to lean heavily on the 24-year-old defenseman in Game 7 on Sunday.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Receives one-game suspension
Makar was handed a one-game suspension by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for interference against Seattle's Jared McCann in Game 4 on Monday.
Makar was assessed a two-minute penalty on the play at the 8:24 mark of the first period in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Seattle. He won't be eligible to play in Game 5 versus the Kraken on Wednesday. Makar has one goal and two assists in four games this postseason. He could be replaced in the lineup by blueliners Kurtis MacDermid or Brad Hunt, while Devon Toews will probably fill in on the top power-play unit.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Facing potential suspension
Makar will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for interference on the Kraken's Jared McCann.
Makar should be expected to miss at least Game 5 against Seattle, though it certainly could be longer. Through the opening four games, the 24-year-old blueliner has recorded one goal, two assists and 12 shots while averaging 25:14 of ice time. Assuming Makar misses out Wednesday, Devon Toews figures to see the biggest uptick of ice time, including stepping into the No. 1 power-play role.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: One of each in win
Makar scored a goal, dished a shorthanded assist, went plus-3, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kraken in Game 3.
Makar stretched the Avalanche's lead to 3-1 in the second period. He'd also previously set up J.T. Compher's shorthanded marker in the opening frame. After a quiet start to the playoffs, Makar's now at three points, eight shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through three contests. The 24-year-old defenseman will continue to lead the way on the Avalanche's blue line.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Provides assist
Makar logged an assist, four shots on goal, six hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Kraken in Game 2.
Makar had a shot tipped in by Artturi Lehkonen for the Avalanche's first goal. Prior to Thursday, Makar had gone three games without a point, and he missed seven contests in that span with a lower-body injury. He's still eating big minutes in the playoffs, and Makar will likely dictate the tempo from the back end as the Avalanche look to pull ahead in the series with Game 3 on Saturday.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Ready to play Tuesday
Makar (lower body) will be in the lineup against the Kraken for Game 1 on Tuesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Makar will return following a seven-game absence due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner notched five points in his previous five outings, including a pair of power-play helpers. With Makar back in the lineup, he should return to quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit and should offer elite fantasy value.

Avalanche's Cale Makar: Should be back for playoffs
Makar (lower body) should be ready for the start of the playoffs, but coach Jared Bednar isn't sure if the 24-year-old defender will play in any of the Avalanche's final three regular-season contests, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Although we likely won't see Makar again during the regular season, the outstanding defender should be ready to rock for Game 1 of the Avalanche's first-round playoff series. Makar's racked up 14 goals and 66 points through 60 contests this campaign.
