Andrew Copp scored twice as the Detroit Red Wings snapped a five game skid by rallying to beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-5 in a shootout.

Neither the Red Wings nor Sabres have done much winning of late, but there are no ties (anymore) in hockey so someone's coming away with the win. Our NHL picks like Buffalo on home ice, especially with Detroit's goaltenders on the shelf.

Scheifele now has a 13-game point streak at home, totaling 20 points in that stretch. David Pastrnak replied for the Bruins, who had a four-game winning streak snapped. This was the first game of a five-game West Coast swing for the Bruins.

Former Detroit Red Wings forward Givani Smith cleared waivers Monday with the San Jose Sharks and was traded Tuesday to the Colorado Avalanche.

The Colorado Avalanche traded goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, forward Nikolai Kovalenko and two draft picks to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, forward Givani Smith and one draft selection on Monday.

The Colorado Avalanche have swapped goaltenders with San Jose, sending a struggling Alexandar Georgiev to the Sharks for Mackenzie Blackwood. As part of the deal announced Monday — on Blackwood's 28th birthday — the Avalanche also acquired forward Givani Smith along with San Jose’s fifth-round pick in 2027.
