The Detroit Red Wings took an early two goal lead, but in the third relaxed and let the Colorado Avalanche back into the game.
Colorado defensemen and Windsor native Ryan Wilson, or “Willy” as his friends Jason, Kevin, Dawn and Mike call him, made his hometown début, finishing the game +1.

Cody McLeod played a great game, scoring twice in the third to force overtime.
Craig Anderson, for Colorado, and Chris Osgood, for Detroit, were stellar in overtime and took the game to a shootout.
Anderson and Osgood both were less than stellar in the shootout. Jason Williams was the only skater for Detroit that put forth an effort. In the shootout, Williams scored for Detroit, but both Marek Svatos and Milan Hejduk made great moves and the Avalanche were rewarded with the win.
