The Avalanche outworked the Kings to a 2-0 victory Friday night. Despite the scoreline suggesting otherwise, the Avalanche were by far the better team and outclassed the Kings on both ends of the ice.
With the Avalanche having the largest shot on goal differential in the league with an average of +8.2 SOG, the Avs walloped the Kings on shots 46-18. The Avalanche have held their opponent to under 20 shots for the third straight game.
Mikko Rantanen was the most dangerous player going forward, with the game-winning goal and an unselfish assist to Nathan MacKinnon for an empty-net goal.
