Makar Posts 10th-Career Multi-Goal Game
The Avalanche beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0 at Wells Fargo Center on Monday. Cale Makar posted a pair of goals, Casey Mittelstadt added Colorado’s third tally, and Justus Annunen made 24 saves.
How It Happened
Makar opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the season with a wrist shot from the slot at 8:30 of the second period. MacKinnon set up the goal with a centering feed after receving a drop pass from Devon Toews at the left point and spinning around a Flyers defender.

The Avalanche thought they had doubled their lead at 10:44 of the middle frame when Makar sent a wrist shot past Flyers goalie Aleksei Kolosov and into the net, but the goal was overturned after a successful Flyers challenge for goaltender interference.
However, Makar did eventually give the Avs a 2-0 lead on the power play with his eighth goal of the season at 15:08 of the middle frame with a wrist shot from the point that deflected off a Flyers player on its way to the net.
