For the Kings, it was the club’s first loss since December 22, their five-game win streak snapped at the hands of an Avalanche team that has struggled on home ice this season.
Jhonas Enroth got the nod for his seventh start of the season, and after turning away Colorado’s 10 first period shots, surrendered a power play goal just over six minutes into the second period, the Avalanche building a 1-0 lead.
Just past the midway point of the second, Tyler Toffoli knotted the score at 1-1 when he fired a slap shot past Semyon Varlamov to register his team-leading 19th goal of the season.
