The Colorado Avalanche continued their road trip out west on Wednesday evening, getting in game two of the three Southwest matchups with a visit to the Los Angeles Kings.
The Avalanche were looking to take advantage of a team down on their luck this season — and they did just that, to the tune of a 7-3 victory.
A late start — pushed even later due to Dion Phaneuf’s 1000th game ceremony — kicked off this sleepy affair, and dared it to end on Thanksgiving Day.
The Avalanche got on the board first, though, kicking things off just over halfway through the first period with a power play goal from their quietly formidable second unit.
