Event – Colorado Avalanche at Los Angeles Kings

Time & Date – 7:30 pm, Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Venue – Staples Center, Los Angeles, California

Colorado heads to LA for the first of four regular season games between them, and will be looking to repeat an early lead. Last season the Avalanche was on the road for the first two games of the series, winning 4-3 on October 20th and 4-3 in a shootout on November 22nd. The team from Denver then returned home to host the last two battles, winning 6-1 on December 9th before giving up the fourth and final game. A 6-5 win on January 21st gave the Kings their late success and let them avoid a season series sweep.

Established in 1972 as the Quebec Nordiques, a part of the NHL since 1979, and relocated to Colorado as the Avalanche in 1995, the visiting team won its 12th division title in 2003, its 2nd conference title in 2001, and its 3rd league title also in 2001. The Colorado Avalanche has advanced to the playoffs 25 times including 14 appearances out of Quebec. Its latest postseason took place in 2008 and brought the team to the conference semifinals where a sweep for the Detroit Red Wings left Colorado behind.

Established in 1967 as the Los Angeles Kings and a part of the NHL from the start, the home team won its 1st division title in 1991, its 1st conference title in 1993, and is working hard to top the league. The Kings have advanced to the playoffs 23 times, most recently in 2002 when the Colorado Avalanche proved superior after seven games in the conference quarterfinals.
