Nets OT winner Makar scored the game-winning goal and dished two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win against Dallas.

Impact Makar weaved through multiple defenders to net the game-winning goal just 34 seconds into the extra period. The first of Makar's assists was on a first-period power play and the latter was on Valeri Nichushkin's tally in the second period. Overall, Makar has 25 goals, 53 assists, 207 shots on net and 100 blocks in 68 games this season. The 26-year-old blueliner's performance Sunday ended a three-game scoreless drought. He currently leads all defensemen in points with 78, which is nine tallies above Columbus' Zach Werenski. Makar's all-around contributions this season make him a top candidate to win the Norris Trophy for the first time since the 2021-22 season. Now that his point drought is over, expect elite-level production from Makar in the fantasy playoffs.

Six-game, 12-point streak Makar picked up an assist in a 7-4 win Saturday over Toronto.

Impact This season continues to be a thing of beauty. Makar is on a six-game, 12-point streak that includes 10 helpers. And his 75 points, including 24 goals, in 64 games not only puts Makar on the top of all NHL defensemen, but squarely into the NHL's top-10 overall, irrespective of position. He's tied with Jack Eichel for eighth on that list.
