Cale Makar is expected to return Saturday for the Colorado Avalanche, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Makar has missed the last five and nine of the previous 10 games for the Avs due to a concussion. Colorado has been that team in the NHL this season that can’t stay healthy for any length of time. The return of Makar on Saturday will still leave them without Gabriel Landeskog, who hasn’t played yet this season after undergoing knee surgery. However, he is expected to make his debut at some point later this month.
Makar may not quite be having the season this year that he produced last season, but he has still been one of the better defenders in the NHL, with 13 goals and 45 points in 46 games. If Makar isn’t the best skating defenseman in the league, he is undoubtedly one of them.
The Avalanche will travel to Dallas on Saturday to take on the Stars. The Avalanche is -280 (+1.5) on the puck line and -110 on the moneyline, with an over/under of six, over (+102), and under (-124). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
