Detroit at Colorado

Detroit is again without their best two scorers (Zetterberg and Holmstrom). That's over 2 points per game missing right now. This is a rivalry game in which defense and tough play will take center stage. The Detroit defense is still healthy and well. They ahve allowed just 2.2 goals per game on the season and seem to be getting better all the time. Colorado allows just 2.4 goals per game at home this season. Over the past five games, each team has allowed just 9 total goals so both defenses are peaking. We look for a great, low-scoring game here.
