Makar and MacKinnon Shine Again

Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon are dominating the postseason spotlight once again, with Makar earning his fourth First All-Star Team nod and MacKinnon landing his sixth postseason honor on the Second Team — continuing Colorado’s streak of multiple All-Star selections for three straight years. Makar, already a rare defenseman with four career First Team nods and seven total postseason honors, is stacking up against hockey legends like Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque. MacKinnon, now tied with Michel Goulet for second-most All-Star selections in franchise history, has the most Second Team nods ever by a single player for the Avalanche. On the ice, Makar tallied 79 points in 75 games, finishing second in Norris voting, while MacKinnon shattered records with 53 goals (Rocket Richard Trophy) and a franchise-record 100 even-strength points. Both also led Canada to Olympic silver, with Makar scoring the team’s only goal in the gold medal game and MacKinnon leading the tournament in power-play goals.
