Red Wings 3 Avalanche 2

Thank you for not losing again to a team that is absolutely derailing. I expected a sluggish performance, and from what I saw it was at times. That's how the Wings usually play on the second game of back to back nights but at least they pulled out the win this time. I'm looking forward to Saturday night's game against the Jackets. Columbus will be fired up and looking to maintain their playoff positioning.
