Los Angeles Kings
Last time out, Los Angeles hosted the Vegas Golden Knights and earned a tough 4-2 win. The Kings got on the board first, but Vegas tied the game up by the first intermission. Vegas took the lead midway through the second period, but Los Angeles tied it up after two. Ultimately, Los Angeles scored two unanswered goals in the third period and got the impressive division win.
Gabriel Vilardi, Phillip Danault, Alex Iafalio, and Viktor Arvidsson all got on the scoresheet on the night. Four Kings recorded an assist in the win.
Kevin Fiala is leading the way for Los Angeles with 25 assists and 35 points this season. Gabriel Vilardi has a team high 15 goals. The Kings are scoring 3.21 goals per game and allow 3.40.
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado forgot to come back from the Christmas break as they visited the Arizona Coyotes and lost 6-3. Three goals were scored in each period and it was the Coyotes who won all three periods 2-1. In each period, Arizona started the scoring and ended the scoring as Colorado sandwiched a goal in between. This was a weird game that will quickly be forgotten by the Avs.
Evan Rodrigues, Cale Makar, and Mikko Rantanen all scored on the night. Five Colorado players got an assist in the defeat.
Mikko Rantanen is having a nice season for Colorado and leads the way with 24 goals and 43 points. Nathan MacKinnon has a team high 26 assists on the year. The Avalanche are scoring 2.91 goals per game and allow 2.70.
