Cale Makar sparks Avalanche to go up 3-1 in series vs. Jets
Valeri Nichushkin got the hat trick on Sunday but Cale Makar was the difference for the Colorado Avalanche. Maybe the best defenseman in the NHL had a big hand in turning a tie into a two-goal Avalanche lead in less than four minutes in Colorado's 5-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets at Ball Arena to give the Avalanche a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference first-round series.
