Cale Makar just keeps making history.
The 24-year-old became the fastest defenceman in NHL history to reach 250 points on Tuesday night during the Colorado Avalanche‘s game against the Seattle Kraken.
With an assist on Logan O’Connor’s goal in the second period, Makar hit the 250-point mark in his 241st career game.
He surpasses Bobby Orr, one of the game’s all-time greats, who reached the mark in 247 games. Other NHL legends that Makar was faster than include Denis Potvin (251 games), Brian Leetch (253 games) and Paul Coffey (260).
Makar, a Calgary native, was also the fastest defenceman in league history to reach 200 points, hitting that mark in 195 games on Nov. 21, 2022. The previous record was held by Sergei Zubov (207 games).
Makar’s 250 points are made up of 67 goals and 182 assists.
Makar has already accumulated plenty of accolades during his first five seasons, including winning the Calder Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy, Norris Trophy and a Stanley Cup.
