Avalanche sweeps two-game SoCal trip with shootout victory at L.A. Kings

LOS ANGELES -- Avalanche goalie Pavel Francouz continued to shine Saturday night at Staples Center, allowing one goal or less through regulation for the third consecutive game. He spearheaded a 2-for-2 penalty killing performance -- including a 4-on-3 disadvantage in overtime -- and stopped all three shots in the shootout in leading Colorado to a sweep of its two-game trip in Southern California.
