Cale Makar Set to Return to Avalanche Lineup After Birth of Newborn Twins

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Stars. Makar missed Tuesday's contest in Dallas due to personal reasons while awaiting the birth of his newborn twins. The 27-year-old was seen arriving at Ball Arena on Wednesday, signaling his availability for the rematch. He is slated to resume his primary duties in a top-pairing role and on the first power-play unit.
