Colorado Avalanche vs. Detroit Red Wings preview

The red-hot Colorado Avalanche welcome a struggling Detroit Red Wings squad to Ball Arena in what's shaping up to be a classic mismatch of teams heading in opposite directions.

Nathan MacKinnon has been absolutely lighting it up for the Avs, racking up an impressive 105 points with 77 assists, while the defensive pairing of Cale Makar continues to dazzle with 81 points of his own.

Detroit's road woes have been brutal - they've dropped six straight away from home while giving up a concerning 14 goals in their last three road games.

There's a glimmer of hope for the Wings in Lucas Raymond's stellar season (70 points) and Dylan Larkin's consistent production (62 points), but they'll need to shore up that league-worst penalty kill if they want any chance against Colorado's potent power play.

The Avs have been flat-out dominant in this matchup lately, going 9-0-1 in their last 10 against Detroit, and their current home streak of nine straight wins makes them look pretty unstoppable.

Keep an eye on Mackenzie Blackwood between the pipes for Colorado - he's been rock-solid with a 2.22 GAA and could be the difference-maker against a Detroit offense that's managed just six goals in their last three road games.

The special teams battle could tell the story here, with Colorado converting 24% of their power plays while Detroit's been surprisingly effective with a 29% conversion rate - though their penalty kill remains their Achilles' heel.

With Samuel Girard questionable for Colorado and Detroit dealing with their own injury concerns in Gustafsson and Soderblom, both teams might need to shuffle their lines a bit to find the right chemistry.
