The Colorado Avalanche revealed Monday the picks for their first-and-second-team Quarter-Century teams. And four current Avs stars were honored by making the teams.
Artturi Lehkonen had two goals and two assists, Cale Makar also scored twice and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Dallas Stars 6-3.
Give Moose his juice. Let’s say, eight years at $101 million. Everybody gets what they want. Mikko Rantanen, the good solider and Nathan MacKinnon’s literal right-hand man, becomes a $100-million player.
The Colorado Avalanche lost 3-1 to the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday at United Center. This was Chicago’s second win against Colorado this season, following a 5-2 victory in October.
Cale Makar was picked to win the Norris Trophy as the best defenseman in the NHL by an NHL.com panel prior to the season and at the quarter mark of the season. Halfway into the season, he's still the favorite.
Colorado Avalanche superstar Cale Makar became the fastest active defenseman in the NHL to score 100 career goals on Saturday.
Makar registered an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
Cale Makar deflects not only shots but any mention of milestones related to him. It’s just the nature of the Colorado Avalanche’s dynamic defenseman.
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.
Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar found himself in awe of Cale Makar after the star defenseman enjoyed another prolific game during Colorado's 6-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.
Instead, the Avs operated with the urgency of Eeyore. And the crowd wasn’t exactly buzzing either. For long stretches, the only sound was sticks clicking the ice. Close your eyes and it was hard to tell if this was Ball Arena or a Family Sports Center practice.
