Avalanche's Taylor Makar: Nets both goals in AHL win
Rotowire
Makar scored twice in AHL Colorado's 2-1 win over Calgary on Sunday.

He has six goals and three assists over his last seven outings, giving him 14 goals and 23 points across 48 appearances in his AHL rookie year. He's seen a couple of call-ups with the Avalanche but could need another year or two of development before he'll be a regular with the big club.
