Makar to return vs. Ducks after 4-game injury absence

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar says he's good to go Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks after missing the last four games with an upper-body injury, according to The Athletic's Peter Baugh.

The reigning Norris Trophy and Conn Smythe winner has 43 points in 42 games this season and leads the league with 27:09 of average ice time.

Colorado went 4-0-0 without Makar. The team is riding a six-game winning streak and crawled its way back into a playoff spot despite a myriad of injuries.

Several other key players have missed time this season, including Nathan MacKinnon. The club is still without captain Gabriel Landeskog and defensemen Bowen Byram and Josh Manson, among others.
