  "account": "Mackenzie Blackwood made 27 saves in a shutout performance for the Colorado Avalanche as they defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-0 on Saturday night. Martin Necas contributed with two goals and two assists, while Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar each added a goal and two assists for Colorado. This game marked Blackwood's 18th career shutout and his 800th career game, with coach Jared Bednar reaching this milestone behind the Colorado bench. The rivalry between the two teams, which produced five Stanley Cup titles from 1996-2002, has cooled significantly since Detroit relocated to the Eastern Conference, with the Red Wings currently experiencing an 11-season playoff drought following Colorado's 2022 championship win.",
