The game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings originally scheduled for Monday, Dec. 20 at Little Caesars Arena has been postponed, the National Hockey League announced Friday afternoon. In all, four Avalanche games have been postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak impacting the team. The league also announced schedule changes for the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers, but Monday’s game between Colorado and Detroit is the only postponed contest involving the Red Wings.
