Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar drops back to defend in the second period of Game 3 of a first-round playoff series against the Calgary Flames, Monday, in Denver. Makar scored a goal in his NHL debut against his favorite childhood team. Makar zipped through the neutral zone Monday night and beat Flames goaltender Mike Smith with a wrist shot late in the first period to make it 3-0. The 20-year-old Makar signed a three-year deal with Colorado on Sunday — a day after UMass lost in the Frozen Four championship. From Calgary, Makar and his family were big Flames fans. He joked they are “fully Avs converted now.” Makar, the fourth overall pick by Colorado in 2017, had 49 points for UMass and won the Hobey Baker Award as college hockey’s top player.
