Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar recorded his 200th career point Monday against the Dallas Stars, becoming the fastest defenseman in NHL history to reach the benchmark.

Makar notched the milestone on a laser of a one-timer.

He accomplished the feat in just 195 games - 12 fewer than the previous record holder, Sergei Zubov.
