LOS ANGELES — The Colorado Avalanche spent all of training camp talking about how this season can be different than the last.
Then the Avs spent Tuesday night backing that up.
Colorado outclassed the Los Angeles Kings on opening night with a solid performance and some dashes of excellence mixed in. The 4-1 victory looked completely different than the start to last season, which began with allowing eight goals in Las Vegas and snowballed with three more losses.
“Just no question marks at the moment,” Avs star Cale Makar said. “I think coming into the year like that, where everybody can kind of be together and you know what you’re getting right off the bat, that’s exciting.
