Makar Takes Uncalled Hit From Okposo That Leaves Him Injured
In today's Avalanche-Sabres game, Cale Makar took a hit from Okposo that left him awkwardly barreling into the boards with his legs slewed out behind him. Makar was taken straight to the Avalanche's dressing room to be evaluated. The hit went unpenalized.

Avalanche Captain Nathan MacKinnon was not happy about the non-call on the hit, and proceeded to let the ref know exactly how he felt about the missed call. This resulted in a 10-minute misconduct for MacKinnon.
Makar is in the #Avs locker room, and MacKinnon gives the officials and earful after no penalty on the Okposo hit.
That earns him a two minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a ten minute misconduct.
The #Avs head back to the penalty kill. #GoAvsGo
