Cale Makar had two goals and four assists for the first six-point game by a defenseman in franchise history and Nathan MacKinnon added two goals and three assists to extend his home points streak to 18 games in the Colorado Avalanche’s 7-3 romp over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.

Cale Makar set an Avalanche record for most points in a game by a defenseman with six (two goals, four assists) in the win. Nathan MacKinnon had two goals and three assists. Martin Necas had a goal and an assist, and Mackenzie Blackwood made 32 saves.

Cale Makar produced two goals and four assists for the first six-point game of his career, Nathan MacKinnon scored two goals and added three assists, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the San Jose Sharks 7-3 in Denver on Thursday.

The Avs hope Valeri Nichushkin could play as soon as Wednesday, the first game of the homestand, against New Jersey. That would be the healthiest the team has been all year, with just defenseman Josh Manson missing from a Landeskog-less optimal lineup.
