Cale Makar was selected to represent the Avalanche in the 2023 NHL All-Star Game, which will be held Feb. 4 in Sunrise, Fla., the league announced Thursday evening.
One player was chosen from every team, with Makar selected from the defending champion Avs. Three more players per division will be added via fan vote. Avalanche leading scorer Mikko Rantanen has not been chosen as an All-Star for now.
Makar has 34 points (nine goals, 25 assists) in Colorado’s first 36 games. The defending Norris Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy winner hasn’t scored at as high a clip as last season, but he has a 54.
