Colorado Avalanche star defenseman Cale Makar will miss time with an upper-body injury sustained April 1, severely impacting their top-ranked power play and defensive structure ahead of Saturday's crucial Central Division matchup at Dallas Stars. The Avalanche (49-14-10, 108 points) hold a slim lead over the Stars (44-19-12), who benefit from home-ice advantage at American Airlines Center amid a tight playoff positioning race, both teams having clinched berths. Recent head-to-heads split in tight shootouts on March 6 and 18 highlight the rivalry's competitiveness, though Dallas counters key absences like Roope Hintz and Tyler Seguin with depth scoring. Stars' recent 1-4-2 skid adds uncertainty to trader consensus on momentum.
