DETROIT - Jonathan Bernier turned in a solid effort in goal against his former team on Sunday.
But his current team didn't provide any offensive support.
Nathan MacKinnon scored a power-play goal in the second period and Semyon Varlamov made 24 saves to lift the Colorado Avalanche past the Detroit Red Wings 2-0 at Little Caesars Arena.
Colorado (16-6-5) is 9-0-2 in its past 11 and moved into a tie with Nashville for the top spot in the Western Conference.
It is the first time the Red Wings (12-12-3) have been shut out since March 22 of last season, when Washington's Philipp Grubauer made 39 saves in a 1-0 victory at LCA.
