"The Colorado Avalanche rode swagger, poise and the league's stingiest goaltender to the best record in the NHL this season. Goals from Gabriel Landeskog, Cale Makar, Artturi Lehkonen and Brock Nelson gave Colorado a 4-2 win over the Kings."
"The Kings, who have lost their last six first-round playoff series, need a victory at home Sunday to extend their season. Their goals in Game 3 came from Trevor Moore and Adrian Kempe."
"The difference in the series has been Scott Wedgewood, who was nearly perfect in goal again Thursday, making 24 saves to leave the Kings 60 minutes away from summer."
"The Avalanche needed less than seven minutes to get the lead back, with Makar getting the puck along the boards on the left wing, skating into space at the point, then zipping a wrist shot through heavy traffic."
