AVALANCHE WRAP: Manson looks great, Landeskog surgery update, Jost trade aftermath

Well, that was quite a defensive clinic the Colorado Avalanche put on tonight in Los Angeles. At Crypto.com Arena, the Avs shut out the Kings 3-0 behind the second straight shutout from Darcy Kuemper.

“The guys did an unbelievable job in front of me,” said Kuemper, who now has five shutouts on the season overall, making 23 saves.

That’s for sure. The Avs didn’t get the Kings much at all. The Avs have now allowed just one goal at even-strength in the last three games. How did newcomer Josh Manson look? Very good, thank you very much. Manson, after flying from New York overnight, played 18:41 and was credited with 10 hits. He was a plus-1 and played 1:12 on the penalty kill. At even strength, he was paired with Ryan Murray.
