A pair of brothers could soon be getting a chance to play together in the NHL for the first time.\u00a0 The Avalanche announced (Twitter link<\/a>) that they\u2019ve recalled forward Taylor Makar<\/a> from AHL Colorado.\u00a0 They had two open spots on their active roster, meaning no corresponding move needed to be made to bring him up.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first recall of Makar\u2019s career.\u00a0 The 24-year-old, the younger brother of star defenseman Cale Makar<\/a>, was selected by the Avs in the seventh round back in 2021, taking him 220th overall.\u00a0 Makar went on to spend four years in college, three with UMass before transferring to the University of Maine for his senior year, one that saw him record 18 goals and 12 assists.\u00a0 For context, he had a total of 22 points over his first three college campaigns.<\/p>\n

That improvement was enough for Colorado to sign Makar to a one-year, entry-level deal for this season.\u00a0 He\u2019s off to a decent start with the Eagles, picking up one goal and three assists in nine games so far this season.<\/p>\n

Makar\u2019s recall is likely tied to the fact that winger Gavin Brindley<\/a> left today\u2019s game against Vegas after taking a hit from Ivan Barbashev<\/a> and didn\u2019t return.\u00a0 With the Avs only carrying 12 forwards on their active roster before this move, it would appear that Makar would be in line to make his NHL debut if Brindley can\u2019t suit up on Saturday against San Jose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A pair of brothers could soon be getting a chance to play together in the NHL for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[6066,49,48,758,118159,448,82,94952,4584],"class_list":{"0":"post-253626","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ahl","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-colorado-avalanche","12":"tag-gavin-brindley","13":"tag-nhl","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-taylor-makar","16":"tag-transactions"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
