The Avalanche entered the All-Star Break 11-3-0 in their last 14 games with the 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings and sit atop the Central Division with 67 points.
Logan O’Connor scored two goals in the first period to give the Avalanche the lead, which they kept throughout the game.
“I think you know as a line we’re just having a lot of fun out there and playing predictable to each other, using our strengths to our advantage,” O’Connor said. “The second goal, it’s all the work by Woody (Miles Wood) and Rosco (Ross Colton) getting on the forecheck and Woody finding me there. Maybe I put it in there but the work happened a lot further ahead in the play.”

Nathan MacKinnon scored the third goal in the first period, which extended his home scoring streak to 25 and tied him with Bobby Orr (1974-75) for the second-longest season-opening home point streak in NHL history.
