  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Makar scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Predators. Makar opened the scoring at 2:54 of the second period and helped out on Nathan MacKinnon's tally in the third. This was Makar's second multi-point effort in a row and his seventh in 12 contests this season. The superstar defenseman still hasn't been held off the scoresheet, compiling five goals, 16 helpers, 35 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-8 rating. He's earned 10 of his 21 points on the power play, with both of those figures good for a share of the league lead in each category.

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Makar notched an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning. The Avs have endured a rocky start to the season, but Makar has been a standout performer while emerging as the most productive defenseman in the NHL -- and it's not even close. He's recorded a point in each of his 11 appearances while posting six multi-point efforts in that span, translating to four goals and a league-leading 15 assists. His 19 points are tied for first league-wide along with Mark Stone.

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Makar delivered a power-play assist in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks. Makar and Nathan MacKinnon have been the most productive duo in the league over the first weeks of the regular season, and both players are currently riding 10-game point streaks. Makar extended his by setting up McKinnon's power-play goal in the final seconds of the second period, but the Avalanche couldn't spark the comeback in the final frame. Makar has thrived as a playmaker despite his role as a blueliner and is up to 14 assists, as well as three goals, in his 10 outings this season.

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Makar notched an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators. Makar kept his point streak alive with a helper on Ross Colton's goal with 4:59 left in the third period. The 25-year-old Makar has found the scoresheet in all nine games, racking up a total of three goals, 13 assists, 22 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. The superstar blueliner is playing at a level that's above even his impressive skills, and he should have no trouble finishing above a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 even if he regresses a bit.

  Makar scored a goal on six shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah. Makar extended his point streak to eight games, though he was limited to a single point for the third time this season. The 25-year-old's tally late in the first period held up as the game-winner. Makar has three goals, 15 points, 21 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and a minus-2 rating. With the Avalanche turning things around after a slow start, the superstar blueliner should have no trouble staying consistent throughout the campaign.
