During a pre-game media availability, Bednar was asked for an official update on Makar and was able to give some of the latest details on if he will play tonight.

While Makar is still questionable, the presence of Manson being back in the lineup again for Game 3 despite dealing with injury is a good sign.
As game time approaches, it will be interesting to see if Makar takes warmups which he hasn't done yet this series.
If he does it could signal his series debut but if not the Avalanche will need to find a way to overcome the problems they have faced in games one and two that see them down in the series.
As more information is provided on Makar's status for Game 3 we will pass along all of the latest news and updates.
