Cale Makar’s blistering October has him on pace to break Avalanche records

The NHL season is just a month old and this could be filed under the “Way Too Early Stats” folder, but it’s hard to ignore Avalanche rookie Cale Makar’s big numbers.

Through 12 games, the newly turned 21-year-old has already tallied 10 points — a goal and nine assists. He’s on pace for 68 points on year, which would obliterate the record for an Avs rookie defenseman since the team moved to Colorado — 34 by John-Michael Liles in the 2003-04 season.

Heck, he’d destroy the franchise record owned by Bruce Bell, who totaled 37 for the Quebec Nordiques in 1984-85.
