Cale Makar Scores Twice vs Islanders, Leads All NHL Defensemen In Goals, Points

(CBS4/AP) - Cale Makar had two goals and an assist on Monday night in the Colorado Avalanche's 5-4 win in New York. Makar leads all NHL defensemen in goals (20) and points (63).

His first-period goal against the Islanders extended his points streak to 12 games, which is second in franchise history for a defenseman behind Steve Duchesne's 15 in the 1992-93 season.

"Cale is always a stud," teammate Nathan MacKinnon said. "He's been setting up a lot of guys. It was nice to see him score a few tonight."
