FINAL: 4-1 #Avs

Avs spoil Anze Kopitar’s final home opener after a dominant second period.

Scott Wedgewood was excellent and came up big for his squad!

UNDEFEATED!!

Brandt Clarke really doing his best to become enemy number one after he cross-checked Lehky into Wedgewood, then flopped when Manson retaliated, and then cross-checked someone else and retreated to the box as fast as possible.

4:40 left and the Kings are pulling Kuemper down three and on the advantage.

5 on 3 now with Manson going off for cross-checking.

Scott Wedgewood checking on his hand after Lehkonen was checked into him as he reached for the puck.

MacKinnon went after Clarke and will get sent off for interference.

It’s very very early but the power play isn’t cooking.

Avs will have to kill another this time without Makar. That was a but soft but the stick was up in the hands.

Burns got a little too fancy there and got caught hooking Byfield. First kill of the season.

END OF 2ND: #Avs 3 - #LAKings 0

That was an EXPLOSIVE period for the Avalanche who have a strong hold on this one now.

Got a little scary for a second to end the second frame but Scott Wedgewood was there!

3-0

MacKinnon works the puck behind the net, Makar takes his pass and drives and Lehky pots the rebound!!

Magic!

END OF 1ST: 0-0

So Manson landed a perfectly clean hit on Foegele and Malott wasn’t pleased. Manson fought him but Malott pulled Manson down onto his head.

Manson gave him a face wash and Landeskog told him what was up.

Oh, but no goals!

Five minutes left in the opening period in LA and Brindley has already gotten a few looks and a few pointers from Cap.
