WHERE/WHEN
February 12, 2016 Game 58
Joe Louis Arena Detroit, Michigan
HIGHLIGHTS
The former stars are retired, the teams have been separated by realignment, and so, the fiery hate that fueled a decade long rivalry between the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings has all but fizzled out. So with no vicious hits or line brawls on the docket, this game would instead serve as a preview for the Avalanche’s first outdoor game two weeks from today.
Avalanche fans will undoubtably hope for a more entertaining offensive effort when the Avalanche next meet the Red Wings at Coors Field.
