Sunday night, Colorado Avalanche went into Detroit riding a 10 game points streak and lingering near the top of the Western Conference. They were able to extend the streak with a 2-0 win over the Red Wings, unfortunately the result is being overshadowed by disciplinary nonsense.
With the Avalanche leading 1-0 late in the third period, Matt Calvert was hit towards the Detroit bench by Matt Green. His stick was then grabbed by a couple of players sitting on the Red Wings’ bench. Calvert turned to pull it away but was attacked by the Detroit players.
