Makar was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

Makar made two appearances during this NHL stint, but he is still in search of his first point. The 24-year-old will return to the Eagles and wait for his next NHL opportunity. Makar's demotion suggests Joel Kiviranta (lower body) might be ready to play Thursday versus the Senators.
