Two longtime rivals are set to take to the ice on Saturday afternoon, as the Detroit Red Wings host the Colorado Avalanche in their final home game before the Olympic Break.

Following their 5-0 shutout loss to the NHL-leading Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon, Detroit Red Wings team captain Dylan Larkin said they'll have something to prove in Monday's rematch in Denver.

The Red Wings (32-18-6) are winless in three (0-2-1) for the first time since Nov. 24-29 (0-3-1). They scored only four goals in those games – just one in the first 57 minutes of those games.

The Red Wings' rivalry with the Colorado Avalanche used to produce must-watch games, with two deeply talented rosters.

DETROIT – Paul Woods, who has provided analysis for Detroit Red Wings radio broadcasts for 40 years, said on Saturday that he is retiring at the end of the season. Woods, 70, said he wants to spend more time at home and with his four grandchildren.

The reality is, they were flat for the majority of this homestand. McLellan theorized some possibilities for what could be driving that — a lack of focus, stale line combinations, complacency, or some fatigue — and certainly he and his staff will be sorting through to figure out which of those apply, and how to solve them.

The Red Wings Patrick Kane reacted to becoming the US-Born points leader and passing Mike Modano in the record books.
