The Colorado Avalanche come to Hockeytown to face the Detroit Red Wings tonight. The Wings will not play Pavel Datsyuk on Saturday because of an upper-body injury.
While the old days of the bench emptying brawls between Colorado and Detroit are gone, the Wings need to get their season back on track and a win against Colorado, who are in 1st place in the conference, would silence a lot of critics.

Detroit, who are 3-3-0 going into tonight, have struggled on the road. With 5 away games in the next two weeks, Detroit will be looking to go into the trip above .500.
Look for Henrik Zetterberg to continue to produce offensively; he currently leads Wings with 6 points but only one goal. Also look for Kirk Maltby to be banging away for another goal; he’s off to a hot start and Kris Draper has been calling Malts “hot hands” since his goal Thursday night.
On local note...
Look for Windsor Minor Hockey Association (WMHA) graduate Ryan Wilson (#44) to suit up for the Colorado Avalanche. Wilson made his NHL debut Tuesday against the Boston Bruins.
