Colorado Avalanche star winger Mikko Rantanen is set to face off against the Dallas Stars in a crucial playoff matchup, but the real story may be the return of one of the league's most dynamic players: Cale Makar. The highly skilled defenseman, who has been dealing with a lower-body injury, is expected to make his return to the ice for the Avalanche, giving their playoff hopes a significant boost. With Makar back in the lineup, the Avalanche will look to regain their momentum and secure a spot in the second round of the playoffs. Can Makar's return be the spark the Avalanche need to take down the Stars and move on in the postseason?
