DETROIT — The Avalanche used a come-from-behind effort to defeat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime Sunday at Little Caesars Arena. Some observations:
1. Keeper. Teenage defenseman Samuel Girard played in his 10th NHL game, ensuring that he will not be sent back to his junior team in Quebec. Girard, 19, again played with Erik Johnson on the top pairing and logged 24:20, second most on the team. This youngster is plays with remarkable poise and will only get better.
