THE DENVER POST

Terry Frei: Avalanche, with Reto Berra in net, falls to Kings in Los Angeles

“The Avalanche also failed to take advantage of a 48-second 5-on-3 advantage in the third period, and Kings goalie Jonathan Quick finished with 22 saves. He made a big save on Gabe Landeskog during the stretch.”

Ryan Murphy: Kings Take Down Avs 2-1

“Matt Duchene finally gets on the board this season, scoring a second period power play goal, but what we saw was utter domination by the Kings all night long. Los Angeles won more face-offs, took more shots, got the puck in the net more times.”

StephHouse: Last Call: The Power of One

“Tonight, the Colorado Avalanche put up the third-worst offensive performance in a 3rd-period-5v5-trailing situation since 2007, among teams who didn’t spend less time in that situation than the Avs did tonight.”
