Avalanche vs. Red Wings: Score Highlights Reaction from 2016 Stadium Series

The Detroit Red Wings got a much-needed 5-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche in front of a sold-out Coors Field with 50,095 fans on hand in Saturday’s Stadium Series contest in Denver.

Brad Richards broke a 3-3 tie to score the game-winner with one minute remaining, with his shot ricocheting in off the edge of Semyon Varlamov's stick as the Avalanche goalie fell backward.

Colorado then went to an empty net in the final 60 seconds, positioning Detroit's Darren Helm to nail in the dagger with 20 seconds remaining.

Here is a look at Richards’ remarkable goal, per Mike Shaw of the Hockey Writer:
