Makar accomplished his latest milestone Saturday when the Canadian scored his 100th career goal in his 362nd career NHL game. By doing so, he became the fifth-fastest defenseman since 1943-44 to reach that particular mark.
The only blue liners speedier are Hall of Famers: Bobby Orr , Paul Coffey , Ray Bourque and Denis Potvin .“I guess just another thing along the way,” Makar modestly said two days before reaching the 100-goal mark. “I don’t really look at like that. I wish it would come and go.”
With 101 career goals — he scored twice Saturday — and 287 assists, Makar is averaging 1.07 points a game. Should he keep up that pace, it would rank up there with the likes of Orr and Coffey for the highest marks over a career by a defenseman in NHL history. He is relied on heavily, too, averaging 25 minutes, 37 seconds of ice time a game, which is the third most in the league.Middleton listens to whatever Makar tells him, especially when it comes to generating offense. The 26-year-old from Edmonton, Alberta, is hoping the knowledge pays off as he searches for his first NHL goal.
Makar's combination of skating and vision were on display when he scored his 100th career goal on a power play Saturday in a 6-3 victory over Dallas. Makar was up top and moved the puck around the ice before receiving it back from“It’s certainly impressive,” Bednar said of Makar hitting another milestone. “We’ve talked about that for years now, some of the milestones that he hits, and the timing of him, how quickly he hits them.
