The Stars have a 4-1 scoring edge with Makar on the ice this series. “I’ve got to be a lot better,” he said Wednesday.

Nothing has come easy on the offensive end for Colorado Avalanche standout defenseman Cale Makar against the Dallas Stars.

Makar has been named a finalist for the Norris Trophy for the fifth time in his career. The other defensemen in NHL history who have been a finalist five times in their first six seasons are Bobby Orr, Brad Park and Dennis Potvin.
