Red Wings at Avalanche odds, spread and lines.

Thomas Greiss has allowed 3 or more goals in each of his last three starts. Darcy Kuemper has a .857 SV% in five games since returning from injury.

Eight of the last nine Detroit Red Wings' losses have been by multiple goals. The penalty kill has been shaky recently, stopping just 11-of-17 (64.7%) power plays since Nov. 24. Kuemper's return Wednesday was solid in the second period, but the defense in front of him doesn't yield a lot of quality looks.

Detroit Red Wings are playing Colorado Avalanche. The Avs are favored by 2.5 points.
