DENVER — The Detroit Red Wings endured a scare to one of their top players and suffered another lopsided loss on the road.
Their attempt at a comeback Friday at Ball Arena was short-lived as the Colorado Avalanche unleashed a flurry that saw both Detroit goalies snowed under. The 7-3 loss dropped the Wings (13-12-3) to 4-9-1 on the road.
Coach Jeff Blashill gambled and pulled his goalie with a little over five minutes to play in regulation and with the Wings on a power play, but Avs defenseman Cale Makar used the empty net for target practice.
