Game Preview

Detroit versus Colorado was a big rivalry two decades ago. Bad blood fomented through numerous postseason series, and the survivor went on to win it all five times in a span of seven seasons.

But when the Red Wings and Avalanche face off Wednesday night in Denver, the intensity of those meetings won’t be present. Instead the teams, now in opposite conferences, are focused on just playoff positioning and not delivering a message for the postseason.

Detroit is trying to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2016 when its streak of appearances ended at 25 straight seasons. The Red Wings have not won a playoff series since 2013 but they are poised to break through this year.
