Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar recorded his 200th career point Monday against the Dallas Stars, becoming the fastest defenseman in NHL history to reach the benchmark.
Makar notched the milestone on a laser of a one-timer.
He accomplished the feat in just 195 games - 12 fewer than the previous record holder, Sergei Zubov.
Defenseman | Games |
---|---|
Cale Makar | 195 |
Sergei Zubov | 207 |
Brian Leetch | 211 |
Phil Housley | 212 |
Denis Potvin | 212 |
Mark Howe | 216 |
Bobby Orr | 216 |
Gary Suter | 219 |
Paul Coffey | 221 |
Every blue-liner in the top nine, aside from Suter and Makar, is enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Makar, 24, has already won a Stanley Cup, a Conn Smythe Trophy, and a Norris Trophy.
