High-scoring Avalanche open road trip against Kings
After putting their goal-scoring prowess on display Friday, the Colorado Avalanche will be well rested heading into Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Kings that opens a four-game Southern California road trip.
The teams will repeat the matchup on Thursday in L.A.
Bent on revenge after a season-opening loss at home to the St. Louis Blues, the Avalanche got out their aggressions on the back end of a back-to-back against the Blues. Colorado scored five power-play goals Friday en route to an 8-0 victory.
The domination was so complete, on both ends of the ice, that Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer needed just 21 saves to earn the 12th shutout of his career.
