Makar Runs the Power Play Show in Colorado's Shutout of Detroit
A third-period goal with the man advantage caps a night where all of his points came on the power play in a 4-0 Avalanche win.
Cale Makar finished with three points in Colorado's 4-0 win over Detroit, and every one of them came on the power play: a goal and two assists.
The defenceman played 22:43, second among Avalanche skaters and second among the team's six defencemen. He scored in the third period, at 9:45, with the man advantage. He also had two shots on goal, one at even strength and one on the power play, and finished plus 1.
At even strength he did not reach the scoresheet. He had one shot on goal and one shot attempt in total, with no points. The power play produced all of his offence, including four shot attempts.
This was a clear step up from his season line of 5 goals and 16 assists in 17 games.
The win moves Colorado to 10-6-2. Detroit has lost three straight.
