Summary
LOUIS -- When Cale Makar comes to play, odds are his opponent will pay the price.That wasn't the case during the opening two games of the Western Conference Second Round when the 23-year-old defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche found himself in an un-Makar-like state of mediocrity.Makar had no points and was minus-2 while averaging 26:33 of ice time against the St. Louis Blues in a best-of-7 series that was 1-1. By his own admission, Makar, a finalist for the Norris Trophy given to the best defenseman in the NHL this season, said he was lacking some "juice." He also admitted that in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, "you have to find a way."He did, like great players do, in Game 3 with one assist, three blocked shots, nine shot attempts and a plus-2 rating in 28:49 of ice time. "He's more physical than what people give him credit for and he's dialed into our structure."Makar has become more than just an offensive dynamo since winning the Calder Trophy as the NHL rookie of the year in 2019-20."I think my overall game in terms of evening it out around the ice has improved," Makar said.
