The Colorado Avalanche has waited all season to be healthy. It finally happened, and the Avs put on a show.
Cale Makar set a franchise record for defensemen with six points and the Avs scored on their first three power-play opportunities of the night en route to a 7-3 win Thursday night against the depleted San Jose Sharks at Ball Arena.
Makar became the first defenseman to have at least two goals and six points in a game since Paul Coffey did it on March 14, 1986.
“Just amazing. Tough to find a better player in this league, playing half the game, doing what he does every night,” said Avs star Nathan MacKinnon, who also had five points.
