ST. PAUL, Minn.--Just when you think it might be a game where Cale Makar won't get on the scoresheet, the rookie defenseman finds a way.
Before you know it, he's registered two points.
That was Makar's night on Thursday for the Colorado Avalanche as he scored twice in a matter of 4:30 in the second period to help the club erase a two-goal deficit against the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center. The Wild scored midway through the third stanza to retake the lead and held on to defeat the Avs 3-2, but it wasn't for the lack of effort by Makar and company.
"He's a difference maker for us," said head coach Jared Bednar of Makar. "Tonight again, and we had some horses tonight. I was overplaying a handful of guys because they were going, but we need everyone going."
