We got some star power in the late game on Wednesday night hockey with Patrick Kane facing off against Nathan MacKinnon and the Avalanche.

Let's dive into some picks and predictions for the game.

Detroit Red Wings vs. Colorado Avalanche predictions

Colorado has absolutely dominated Detroit in their head-to-head matchups over the last few seasons, going 9-0-1 and outscoring the Red Wings 43-19. But these aren't the rebuilding Red Wings anymore. Detroit is trending towards being a playoff team.

Detroit has won six of their last eight games and have been scoring a ton of goals. That’s led by Patrick Kane who has five goals and six assists in his last eight games. Five Red Wings have at least seven points during that span.

Similar to Kane, Nathan MacKinnon is on a heater. He is tied for the NHL lead in scoring with Nikita Kucherov and has 16 points in his last eight games. MacKinnon is taking over games and using his shot to his advantage. In the last eight games, MacKinnon has 52 shots on goal. The next closest Avalanche is Cale Makar with 23.

I think there is going to be a lot of goals scored in this game and it’s going to be led by each teams star players.
