Makar (lower body) should be ready for the start of the playoffs, but coach Jared Bednar isn't sure if the 24-year-old defender will play in any of the Avalanche's final three regular-season contests, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although we likely won't see Makar again during the regular season, the outstanding defender should be ready to rock for Game 1 of the Avalanche's first-round playoff series. Makar's racked up 14 goals and 66 points through 60 contests this campaign.
