After finishing up a three-game road trip through Canada, the Colorado Avalanche return home tonight to take on the Detroit Red Wings. This will be the second and final regular-season matchup between these two teams, with Colorado winning the first one by a final score of 2-1.
Colorado Avalanche
The Avs come into this game off a shootout win against the Montreal Canadiens, securing another two crucial points in the standings. Brock Nelson was the one to ultimately end it in that game, scoring his third goal in the last three games.
Nelson, and the other new editions for that matter, look to finally be settling in and finding their footing with Colorado, which is exactly what you want and need to see from them at this time of year.
