20/21 Season Game 27 Colorado Avalanche @ Detroit Red Wings
Colorado traveled to Motown to face Detroit in the first of a four game road trip out East. What was once a heated rivalry has calmed down since NHL realignment moved Detroit to the Eastern Conference. The first period started slow without many shots or chances. Detroit got out to a first period lead when Mantha found the puck in the neutral zone as he was coming out of the penalty box, and fired past Grubauer from the slot. Colorado started to up the pressure in the middle frame, and tied the game when Nichushkin finished off a rebound from a Joonas Donskoi shot. The third period began tied but Colorado started to take control of the game. Midway through the third, Nazem Kadri scored on a breakaway to give the Avs their first lead of the game. Just over a minute later MacKinnon added a goal of his own to extend the lead. Brandon Saad added a late empty netter to seal Colorado's 20th win of the season.
