EDGE Analysis

Makar's scoring surge continues. In his past five appearances, Maker has collected nine points, including three goals.

His shot from the point bounced off the glass and was redirected into the net after striking the skate of goalie Antti Raanta. Maker scored the game-winner off a shot from the right face-off circle. Maker added two shots and a plus-2 rating against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Makar helped out on an Evan Rodrigues tally in the second period. The assist extended Makar's point streak to four games (one goal, six helpers). The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 14 points (eight on the power play), 33 shots on net, 25 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating in 12 outings overall. While he's nowhere near the 11.7 shooting percentage he posted last year, he's still been a productive part of the Avalanche's offense.

Makar recorded three assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

All three helpers came in the second period as the Avalanche broke open a 1-1 tie, and Makar also chipped in four shots, a blocked shot, a hit and a plus-4 rating. The 24-year-old blueliner has one goal and 13 points through 11 games as he looks to match or top last season's career-high 86 points.

Makar scored a goal and drew an assist during a 6-3 victory over the Blue Jackets on Friday in Finland.

EDGE Analysis

Maybe Makar just needed to get away. The 2022 Conn Smythe Trophy and James Norris Trophy recipient, Makar collected a career-best 28 goals last season. Entering Friday's Global Series opener, Makar had yet to notch a goal on 21 shots. But he found other ways to produce, earning helpers in four of his past five outings. Makar's third-period goal Friday gave the Avalanche a commanding two-goal advantage. Makar also generated a season-high six shots and team-high four blocks against the Blue Jackets.

Maker was credited with an assist during the Rangers' 3-2 shootout loss Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Maker, who is coming off a 28-goal campaign, still seeks his first this season. He's getting enough ice time. Makar has yet to play less than 24:06. Against the Rangers, the 23-year-old offensive-defenseman earned a team-high 26 minutes, 54 seconds, releasing two shots. Makar's first-period, power-play helper was his seventh assist in seven outings. It's also his sixth point during a man-advantage situation.

Makar posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Makar set up a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the first period. All but one of Makar's six assists this year have come on the power play, though it's a little discouraging he's off to a slow start at even strength. He's also stuck on zero goals through six games after scoring 28 times last year. There's no reason to worry about the 23-year-old's offense when he's working at a point-per-game pace -- in fact, knowing he's capable of more should be encouraging for fantasy managers.

Makar had a power-play assist, two shots on net, one hit and blocked three shots over 24:59 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Makar didn't have to do too much on the power-play goal. He passed to Mikko Rantanen, who worked a pretty give-and-go to set up Valeri Nichushkin's fifth goal of the season. Makar has logged points in three of four contests, including multiple assists twice. He has five helpers to start the season.

Makar registered two assists (one on the power play), two shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Makar has produced a pair of two-assist games in three contests to begin the year. Three of his four helpers have come with the power play. The superstar defenseman has added four hits, four blocked shots, four PIM, eight shots on goal and a plus-1 rating. He's sustained point-per-game production or better over the last two years, so that's the standard fantasy managers will expect of the 23-year-old.

Makar dished out two assists while adding four shots and a blocked shot in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Makar helped out on two of Colorado's four power-play goals as the reigning champs cruised to victory after raising their Stanley Cup championship banner to the rafters. The 23-year-old defenseman was arguably the most important piece of that championship run, capturing the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, and Makar's best hockey may yet lie ahead of him.
