Avalanche Outscore Red Wings 2-1 in Detroit

The Colorado Avalanche secured a narrow 2-1 victory over the struggling Detroit Red Wings, marking Detroit's fifth consecutive loss, all by a single goal. Valeri Nichushkin opened the scoring for Colorado, while Cale Makar added a power-play goal early in the second period. Lucas Raymond managed to score for the Red Wings late in the second, but despite a late push, they couldn't find the equalizer. Alexandar Georgiev rebounded impressively from a poor previous outing, making 29 saves to keep the Avalanche in the game. This loss extends Detroit's winless streak to five games and highlights ongoing offensive struggles, as they have lost 12 of their last 13 matchups against Colorado. The Red Wings are set to face Buffalo next, while the Avalanche will visit New Jersey.
