He also registered two shots, one hit, one blocked shot and a minus-3 rating.One of the best offensive blueliners in the game, Makar has contributed directly to five of Colorado's 10 goals thus far, though that shouldn't be surprising since he's coming off a 2023-24 campaign in which he recorded a career-high 90 points, including 69 assists.
