Makar ended a six-game goal drought with what ended up being the game-winner. He has multiple points in back-to-back contests and a total of two goals and eight assists over 10 appearances in December.

EDGE Analysis

Makar has a goal and seven assists over nine outings in December, with just two of those being multi-point efforts this month. The 26-year-old defenseman had a hand in tallies by Valeri Nichushkin and Mikko Rantanen. Makar is up to 40 points (17 on the power play), 100 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-2 rating over 34 appearances. He may not match last year's 90-point effort, but he should be among the top-scoring blueliners all season.

Makar delivered an assist in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Makar participated in the build-up to the team's lone goal, courtesy of Valeri Nichushkin with 46 seconds left in the third period, meaning the defenseman has cracked the scoresheet in three of Colorado's last four games. Even though Makar hasn't scored a goal since lightning the lamp in a 2-1 win over the Red Wings on Dec. 7, he remains productive on offense. He leads all defensemen in assists (29) and points (38) across 33 games in 2024-25.

Makar scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Makar ended an eight-game goal drought by scoring what turned out to be the game-winning goal early in the second period. The star blueliner had been in a bit of a slump by his elite standards, notching just five points (one goal, four helpers) across his last seven contests. That said, he's still putting up elite numbers with 35 points in 28 appearances.

Makar picked up two assists in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The All-Star blueliner had a hand in Colorado's first and last tallies of the night, setting up Artturi Lehkonen in the first period and Valeri Nichushkin in the third. Makar has been running hot and cold lately, recording three two-point efforts in the last seven games while failing to get onto the scoresheet at all in the other four contests. On the season, he's amassed eight goals and 34 points over 27 appearances, a pace that has Makar headed for his first career 100-point campaign.

Makar notched two assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Makar has multiple points in three of his last six games, though he was also held off the scoresheet twice in that span. The defenseman continues to pile up points -- he leads all NHL blueliners with 32 points (eight goals, 24 helpers) over 24 contests this season. He's earned 14 of those points on the power play while chipping in 71 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating. Makar is a plug-and-play option in fantasy.

Makar notched two assists, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Makar has five points and a plus-5 rating over the last three games. The Avalanche appear to be rounding into form now that most of their regulars are healthy, and that's good news for the players who held the fort early in the season. Makar continues to be the cream of the crop for defensemen, racking up eight goals, 22 helpers, 62 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 21 appearances. He's earned 13 of his points on the power play and should continue to be excellent in all situations.

Makar scored two goals, one on the power play, in Monday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The superstar blueliner potted the first two tallies of the night in the second period. Makar has failed to get onto the scoresheet only three times in 19 contests to begin the season, racking up eight goals and 27 points in the process -- including three goals and 13 points with the man advantage. The one blemish on his line so far is a minus-5 rating, an uncharacteristic performance for a player who has never finished with worse than a plus-12 mark in his career.

Makar notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Makar set up a game-tying goal by Mikko Rantanen in the second period. The helper was Makar's second point over the last four games -- he's slowed down a little since his 13-game season-opening point streak ended. The star defenseman still has a fantastic 25 points, 47 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-5 rating through 17 appearances.

Makar scored a shorthanded goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Makar was able to avoid missing time when he suited up Thursday after being a game-time decision following an undisclosed injury Tuesday versus the Kraken. The defenseman's 13-game point streak to open the year snapped in a 1-0 loss to the Jets on Thursday, but he was right back on the scoresheet Saturday with his first shorthanded point of the season. The defenseman has six goals, 24 points, 44 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances. He's earned 12 of his points on the power play and continues to be dynamic in all situations while also leading all NHL blueliners in points -- Josh Morrissey (16) is a distant second.
