The Red Wings won that game 4-2 back in October. Colorado is now making its move toward the top of the Pacific Division, only three points behind the Blues and one point behind the Blackhawks for second. The Avalanche are 13-5-0 in their past 18 games, 17-6-1 in their past 24, and have the most wins (16) and points (33) in the League since Dec. 31, according to NHL.com.

At the deadline, Colorado added depth in goal by importing Reto Berra from the Calgary Flames.

"We wanted to make sure that if something happens to [starter Semyon Varlamov], we have a good guy there if [Jean-Sebastien Giguere's] back doesn't hold up," executive vice president of hockey operations Joe Sakic told reporters. "We have someone we know is a very good goalie. If [Varlamov] went down, the prospects aren't ready, so we wanted to make sure we solidified that goalie situation for the next few years."

Detroit sent forward Patrick Eaves, prospect Calle Jarnkrok and a third-round draft pick (which becomes a second-round pick if the Red Wings make the playoffs) to Nashville for Legwand, a Grosse Pointe, Mich., native who played his entire 15-year career with the Predators and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, according to NHL.com.

"With Zetterberg, with Datsyuk, with Helm, and with Weiss, the uncertainty of where we're at, we felt it was important to get a bona-fide center," general manager Ken Holland told NHL.com. "The news in the last 48 hours, that all factored into acquiring a center. The one we acquired is a local boy, so if we want to keep him beyond this year, we think it's reasonable that can happen, because he had to waive a no-trade clause to come here. He wanted to come home."
