At 24 years old, Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar is headed to his second NHL All-Star Game. via BennettDurando
One player was chosen from every team, with Makar selected from the defending champion Avs. Three more players per division will be added via fan vote. Avalanche leading scorer Mikko Rantanen has not been chosen as an All-Star for now.
Makar has 34 points in Colorado’s first 36 games. The defending Norris Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy winner hasn’t scored at as high a clip as last season, but he has a 54.4% expected goals rate while on the ice. He also leads the NHL in ice time, averaging 27:09 per game entering Colorado’s matchup with Vancouver on Thursday. The Avs have leaned heavily on Makar and Devon Toews with defensemen Bo Byram and Josh Manson injured.
This will be the second All-Star Game for the 24-year-old blueliner, who became the fastest defenseman in NHL history to reach 200 career points earlier this season. He reached the milestone in his 195th game.
