It’s just the nature of the Colorado Avalanche’s dynamic defenceman. He’s not a big spotlight person even if he constantly finds himself in the limelight.

With 101 career goals and 287 assists, Makar is averaging 1.07 points a game. Should he keep up that pace, it would rank up there with the likes of Bobby Orr (1.39) and Paul Coffey (1.09) for the highest marks over a career by a defenseman in NHL history.
