Following a weekend back-to-back and a mini three-day break the Colorado Avalanche settled in at home to begin another back-to-back. The first foe they faced was the LA Kings suddenly fighting for their playoff lives in the Pacific Division. It was the Avalanche who put on a show and scored at will in a season-high 9-3 victory.
The Game
The first period couldn’t have gone much better for the Avalanche. It didn’t take long for the home team to get on the board when Nicolas Aube-Kubel pounced on a rebound and got the puck past Kings netminder Jonathan Quick at 2:54.
