Per Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com, Makar (undisclosed) wore a regular jersey during Sunday's practice, indicating he's been cleared for contact.

EDGE Analysis

Makar was limited to non-contact drills prior to Sunday's practice, but it appears as though the electrifying blueliner is no longer dealing with those restrictions. Makar racked up eight goals and 44 points through 44 games last campaign and should be one of the first defenders off the board in this year's fantasy drafts.

Makar (undisclosed) is wearing a non-contact jersey for Thursday's training camp practice, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chambers believes Makar is likely wearing a non-contact sweater for precautionary reasons, so at this point there's no reason to believe the electric defender won't be available for Opening Night. Makar racked up eight goals and 44 points through 44 contests last season and will likely be the No. 1 blueliner off the board in most standard fantasy formats.

Makar signed a six-year, $54 million contract extension with the Avalanche on Saturday, PuckPedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Makar is just 22 years old and has already established himself as one of the best defensemen in the league, having posted an eye-popping 20 goals, 94 points, 225 shots and a plus-29 rating while averaging 22:26 of ice time per contest in 101 appearances through his first two NHL seasons. The fourth overall pick from the 2017 Draft will continue to be a Norris Trophy candidate as well as a high-end fantasy asset for years to come.

Makar recorded an assist, four hits, four blocked shots and two shots on net in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Makar had the secondary helper on Andre Burakovsky's second-period goal. After a four-point explosion in Game 1 versus the Golden Knights, Makar was limited to three assists in the next five games. The 22-year-old defenseman ended the postseason with 10 points in as many contests. He added 23 shots, 17 hits and 13 blocks in a top-pairing role.

Makar posted a power-play assist, five hits, three blocked shots and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Makar set up Mikko Rantanen's goal at 5:04 of the third period. Through seven playoff outings, Makar has produced nine points (six on the power play), 17 shots on net, 11 hits and eight blocked shots. The defenseman should continue to play a big role on the blue line, with plenty of chances to chip in on the scoresheet.

EDGE Analysis

Makar found Nathan MacKinnon, who set up Mikko Rantanen's tally 2:07 into overtime. The 22-year-old Makar has carried over his steady offense into the postseason with two goals and six assists in his last six games. The star defenseman should continue to find success, especially on the power play, where he's earned five of his eight points in the playoffs.

Makar netted a goal on four shots and added three assists in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Makar more than doubled his playoff output in Sunday's explosive outing. He assisted on the Avalanche's first three goals before finishing the scoring himself in the third period. The star defenseman has two goals and five helpers through five playoff contests. Even more impressively, all four of his points Sunday came at even strength.

Makar posted a power-play assist, two shots on net and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Blues in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Makar set up Nathan MacKinnon's first-period tally to give the Avalanche a 2-0 lead. The 22-year-old Makar has racked up a goal and an assist with the man advantage through two postseason games. He's likely to be one of the highest-scoring defensemen in the playoffs, especially if the Avalanche go on a deep run.

Makar scored a power-play goal on three shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Makar opened the scoring at 15:15 of the first period. The 22-year-old defenseman racked up 22 of his 44 points in the regular season on the power play, and he's back at it in the postseason. Makar will likely log top-pairing minutes while working on the first man-advantage unit in the playoffs.

Makar produced an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Makar helped out on an Andre Burakovsky goal at 18:58 of the second period. The 22-year-old Makar is the only defenseman to play in at least 40 games and maintain a point-per-game pace this season. He picked up 44 points (eight goals, 36 helpers), 104 shots on net, a plus-17 rating and 36 blocked shots through 44 contests. Among blueliners, Makar is tied for fifth in points with the Capitals' John Carlson.
