The Colorado Avalanche continues its nine-game homestand on Friday when hosting the Los Angeles Kings in its annual Hockey Fights Cancer game. It is the first matchup of a two-game set between the clubs at Ball Arena.
On Wednesday, the Avs improved to 14-8-2 on the season with a 2-1 overtime victory versus the Arizona Coyotes, splitting the two-game series against the team. Gabriel Landeskog ended the contest by notching his team-leading second OT goal on the year while Brandon Saad registered his ninth even-strength marker of the campaign (most on Colorado). Andre Burakovsky, Samuel Girard and Devon Toews all added assists as netminder Philipp Grubauer earned his 13th win of the 56-game schedule, denying 13-of-14 shots.
