Kings 4, Avalanche 2

Colorado broke the Kings’ shutout bid with two quick successive goals by David Jones in the third period.

First, the Avalanche scored a 5-on-3 power play goal with 7:18 remaining, when Jones took a cross-ice pass from John-Michael Liles and beat Quick from close range to give Colorado its first goal.

Then, just 39 seconds later, Jones made it a 4-2 game when, while parked in front of the Kings’ net, he deflected Erik Johnson’s point shot past Quick with 6:39 remaining.

    Here we go again. Why does the Kings power play look so bad even though they are 2-8 today???

    Bad minute, got 2 minutes on the PP, and then just 2 minutes to lock it down.

    Someone get an ENG just to be safe.

    This is what happens when you think you have got the game won. Now the Aves are choking with 2 quick penaltys. Get this game over and give us our 2 points. Moving all so close to that Pacific lead.

    Thank you Aves for the 2 points. DD#8 has 11 goals, 5 more and he’s right where he was last year.

    Avs are the only team in NHL we could have beaten today with that mess of a 3rd period.

    Hope they learn something from this. A blowout turns into a non blowout. Well at least they made it interesting.
    However Quick might do well to just either stay near his net and certainly overall again I say, they need to learn something from this.
    Play like that 3rd period will go absolutely nowhere in a playoff environment.

    Our PP is horrendous. Horrible ending to what was a good game. I’m glad we got the 2 points, though. We need somebody to help this PP. Please DL let’s get it done, and whatever you do don’t trade Schenn.

    @mckinggolf,

    This game would have been in the refrigerator if they had an average PP. No excuse not to score on 5-on-3 when you have more than one minute on it.
