Offense will be front and center tonight when the Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche meet. However, Colorado also comes to town with one of the NHL’s best young defenseman: Cale Makar.
Makar made an impact with the the Avalanche right away last season. He finished up at the University of Masschusetts and jumped into the NHL playoffs with six points in two series.
This year, Makar followed up his impressive postseason with more fireworks. So far, he’s second on the team in scoring with 28 points in 28 games. Those are insane numbers for any defenseman, let along one who is only 21.
