Finds twine shorthanded Makar scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Makar was able to avoid missing time when he suited up Thursday after being a game-time decision following an undisclosed injury Tuesday versus the Kraken. The defenseman's 13-game point streak to open the year snapped in a 1-0 loss to the Jets on Thursday, but he was right back on the scoresheet Saturday with his first shorthanded point of the season. The defenseman has six goals, 24 points, 44 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances. He's earned 12 of his points on the power play and continues to be dynamic in all situations while also leading all NHL blueliners in points -- Josh Morrissey (16) is a distant second.

Good to play Thursday Makar (undisclosed) will play in Thursday's tilt against Winnipeg.

Impact Makar was a game-time decision after exiting Tuesday's 6-3 win over Seattle due to the injury. He registered two assists before leaving that match, and he didn't end up missing a full game, so he'll enter Thursday's action with a chance to extend his season-opening 13-game scoring streak. He has five goals and 23 points in 2024-25.

Game-time decision Thursday Coach Jared Bednar said Makar (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision in Winnipeg on Thursday, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Makar participated in the morning skate and played on the top power play, so that is encouraging. If Makar is unable to play, the Avalanche's next game is at home versus Carolina on Saturday. Makar is off to an amazing start with five goals and 23 points in only 13 games.

Doing fine, might play Thursday Makar (undisclosed) is feeling okay and might be able to play Thursday versus Winnipeg, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post on Wednesday.

Impact That has to come as a huge relief for the Avalanche, who haven't otherwise gotten much in the way of encouraging news on the injury front this season. Makar is a vital part of the Avalanche's blue line, and he's been one of the league's top players, providing five goals and 23 points through 13 outings in 2042-25. He registered two assists before exiting Tuesday's game due to the injury, so his season-opening point streak is still intact.

Tweaks something in Tuesday's game Makar (undisclosed) tweaked something during the second period of Tuesday's game versus the Kraken, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Head coach Jared Bednar did not have an update on Makar's status after the game. The defenseman left originally in the second period, then took one shift in the third before ultimately exiting the contest. His potential absence looms large for the Avalanche -- Makar has yet to be held off the scoresheet with five goals and 18 helpers through 13 contests this season after posting two assists prior to his exit Tuesday. If he can't play Thursday in Winnipeg, Oliver Kylington or John Ludvig would draw into the lineup.
