Denver — The Red Wings were no match Monday for the defending Stanley Cup champions.
Colorado hasn't played to the level it did last season thus far, with a ton of injuries impacting its lineup, but the Avalanche looked powerful in defeating the Wings 6-3.
The Wings have lost nine consecutive games to Colorado in recent years.
Andrew Copp scored his fourth goal to prevent a shutout, after the Avalanche had taken a 5-0 lead late in the second period. Ben Chiarot scored his fourth goal at 16:20 minutes of the third period, making it 5-2.
