Cale Makar | Fantasy Outlook
Makar Anchors Top Power Play in Favorable Home Clash Against Calgary
Cale Makar and the Avalanche host the Calgary Flames tonight at Ball Arena, with Colorado entering as heavy home favorites in an expected higher-scoring tilt. Makar is fully healthy and operating in his usual dominant role, anchoring Colorado's top defensive pairing at even strength with Nathan MacKinnon while running the point on the first power-play unit. Although he has had a quieter stretch with two assists over his past five games, his 17 shots on goal show his involvement is still elite. Facing a Calgary squad (6-7-0) starting Arsenii Sergeev (confirmed), Makar's fantasy start rate has surged back to 95%.
Our projections point to a big bounce-back tonight, forecasting Makar for ~1 point, ~2–3 shots on goal, and substantial power-play upside for roughly 4.7 fantasy points. He also provides reliable peripheral contributions with ~1–2 blocked shots. Looking at the schedule, tonight represents Colorado's second and final scheduled game for this fantasy week, making it crucial to maximize his high-end offensive volume before Sunday arrives. Given his unmatched ceiling on the blue line and favorable matchup environment, he is an essential play. Today’s action: Strong Start.
