Avalanche 3, Kings 1

The Avalanche scored another power-play goal with 1:52 remaining in the first period. Drew Doughty broke his stick and was playing with Michal Handzus’ stick when Paul Stastny centered a puck. Doughty tried to push the puck behind the net but put it right into his own net.

Erik Ersberg then replaced Quick, who stopped 13 of 16 shots.
