That made an instant impression with MacKinnon on a night when Makar made an immediate impact. ( David Zalubowski / Associated Press )MacKinnon scored twice in the first period and set up Makar’s first NHL goal in his debut as the Colorado Avalanche routed the Calgary Flames 6-2 on Monday to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round playoff series. Makar, who grew up a Flames fan in Calgary, was the fourth overall pick by the Avalanche in 2017. “I thought it got away from us early and obviously we chased the game the rest of the game,” Flames coach Bill Peters said. UP NEXT Calgary will try to tie the series in Game 4 on Wednesday night in Denver.
