NHL On Tap: Avalanche could get new-dad scoring bump from Makar against Stars
from NHL.com,
Will Cale Makar be back for the Colorado Avalanche when they host the Dallas Stars at Ball Arena (8:30 p.m. ET; HBO MAX, truTV, TNT)? The defenseman missed a 3-2 win at Dallas on Tuesday to be with his wife, Tracy, who went into labor with the couple’s twins. Colorado coach Jared Bednar did not know whether Makar would return for the second game against Dallas, but there’s always the chance for the new-dad scoring bump if he is. Makar already has seven points (three goals, four assists) in five games this season and is averaging 21:30 of time on ice.
