Detroit — The Red Wings are going to have an unexpected day off Monday.
The National Hockey League announced Friday that it has extended the period of game postponements for three teams, including the Colorado Avalanche, who were expected to play at Little Caesars Arena against the Wings.
But due to concern with the number of positive COVID cases within the last two days, as well concern for continued spread in the coming days, Colorado and Florida Panthers’ games also will be postponed at least through the scheduled completion of the NHL's holiday break in the schedule on Dec.
