Avalanche Recall Taylor Makar — Debut in San Jose On the Way?
Gavin Brindley left game in Vegas with injury
Taylor Makar could be making his NHL debut on Saturday in San Jose.
The Avalanche called up the 24-year-old forward, and he’s expected to join the team for their second game of a back-to-back against the Sharks.
Avs rookie forward Gavin Brindley left Friday’s game in Vegas with an injury after taking a hit from Ivan Barbashev. Jared Bednar said after the game that he’d have an update on Saturday on whether Brindley would be able to play.
Makar’s call-up is likely a precaution in case Brindley can’t play. The younger brother of star defenseman Cale Makar has a goal and three assists in nine AHL games with the Colorado Eagles this season. The Avs drafted him in the seventh round in 2021.
