All hail Cale!
Cale Makar scored 34 seconds into overtime, and the Colorado Avalanche fended off the Dallas Stars 4-3 in a statement victory at Ball Arena.
The 2021-22 Norris Trophy winner finished with a goal and two assists. Scott Wedgewood made 20 saves, many of which were incredible, and the Avs improved to 8-0-1 over their last nine games.
Mikko Rantanen made his highly-anticipated return to Denver after being traded twice in six weeks. He received a mostly positive reception during his tribute video, but that was the end of the celebration as the fans booed him nearly every time he touched the puck after that point.
