Makar logged an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Makar got the puck loose after a board battle in the Avalanche zone and set up Denis Malgin for a breakaway tally. This was Makar's first point in two games since he returned from his second concussion in the last month. He's not quite back to logging his usual massive minutes -- his 23:36 of ice time Sunday was 3:11 less than his season average per game. Still, the defenseman is an automatic activation for fantasy managers since he has 46 points, 145 shots on net, 66 blocks, 60 hits and a plus-6 rating through 48 appearances.

Makar (concussion) had one shot and two blocked shots in 22:27 of ice time in a 7-3 loss to the Stars on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He missed five games. Get the king of the blue line back in your lineup stat.

Makar (concussion) is good to return for Saturday's game against Dallas, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Makar last played Feb. 18. He has 13 goals and 45 points in 46 contests this season. With Makar available, he's likely to serve on the Avalanche's top pairing and first power-play unit versus the Stars.

Makar (concussion) was practicing in a regular jersey Friday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Makar has missed the last five games and nine of the previous 10 contests, but it's looking like he could be ready to go Saturday when the Avalanche face Dallas. The reigning Norris Trophy winner has 13 goals and 45 points in 46 games this season.

Makar (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.com.

EDGE Analysis

This is likely just to free up a roster spot ahead of the trade deadline, as the Avalanche don't play again until Saturday following Wednesday's game versus the Devils. Makar is reportedly nearing a return from the concussion protocol. The 24-year-old blueliner has already missed the requisite seven days, so he can be activated whenever he is ready to play.

Makar (concussion) will remain sidelined versus New Jersey on Wednesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Makar has played in just one game in the Avs' previous nine contests and will be unavailable for at least one more as he continues to recover from his concussion symptoms. With Makar out of action, the team will likely need to bring in another defenseman from the minors, likely Brad Hunt, while Bowen Byram maintains his place on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Makar (concussion) could return to action as soon as Wednesday versus New Jersey, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.

EDGE Analysis

It wouldn't be surprising to see Makar's status against the Devils boil down to a game-time decision. The outstanding defenseman has racked up 13 goals and 45 points through 46 contests this season.

Makar (concussion) won't play Monday against Vegas, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Makar hasn't been cleared for contact yet despite making some progress. He has generated 13 goals, 45 points, 142 shots on goal, 61 blocks and 59 hits in 46 appearances this season. The Avalanche recalled blueliner Brad Hunt from AHL Colorado on Monday.

Makar (concussion) skated for about 50 minutes Wednesday, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

During Wednesday's off day for the team, Makar, who has been in concussion protocol twice in the last two weeks, was a surprise appearance on the ice with the other injured players. He was joined by Gabriel Landeskog (knee) and Darren Helm (lower body). Makar will not play this weekend, which sets Monday against Vegas as his earliest possible return date.

Makar has reentered the NHL's concussion protocol and won't play Friday against Winnipeg or Saturday versus the Flames, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Makar presumably sustained the injury when he collided with St. Louis' Alexei Toropchenko during the third period of Saturday's win over the Blues. He went on to miss Sunday's win over Edmonton and will be sidelined for at least two more contests now that he's back in the league's concussion protocol. With Makar on the shelf, look for Josh Manson to remain in the lineup versus the Jets and Calgary.
