Cale Makar Returns To Avalanche Lineup
2 years agoColorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (lower body) will be back in the lineup Friday against Arizona. He's returning after missing two games with a lower-body injury. Health issues have limited Makar to just 11 appearances since the All-Star break, although he has played extremely well when available and sat on an eight-game point streak before suffering his latest injury. Makar has produced 61 points in 55 games for the season overall. His return pushes Samuel Girard down in the lineup and Bowen Byram will have to relinquish his spot on the first power-play unit. Erik Johnson (ankle) will also be back on the Avalanche blue line Friday, joining the lineup for the first time since Feb. 11.
