Recap: Road woes continue in defeat to Detroit

Can anyone find the Colorado Avalanche away from Ball Arena?

They fell to the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 in overtime in a heartbreaking loss at the Little Caesars Arena. It’s the first time the Avs have lost in the new Red Wings building, and it was also the first time since 2017 that the Red Wings beat the Avs - a 10-game stretch.

It was far from pretty, and ultimately a lack of offense hurt the Avs. Let’s go over how it went down.

First Period

The Avs came out on top in the first period, having some threatening chances on Alex Lyon.
