After giving up an average of 22 shots a game over their previous three, the Kings gave up 38 shots against Colorado in their 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche on Sunday night. In the first period, however, they held Colorado to only four shots on goal, a vast improvement from the 29 they gave up in the first period against the Avalanche in a game last season. In that game, Colorado tied a King opponent record for most shots in a period and finished with 51 against goaltender Stephane Fiset.

Stephane Fiset, who will start in goal tonight in the Kings' exhibition game at Denver against the Colorado Avalanche, has a tough act to follow. Byron Dafoe set a high standard by stopping 31 shots Sunday in the Kings' exhibition opener. Fiset, who did not allow a goal in two scrimmages and an intrasquad game, is ready for the challenge. "If I play good, Larry [Robinson, the Kings' coach] is going to put me in the net," Fiset said. "I'll just wait to see what happens."

Goaltender Byron Dafoe suffered a right thumb injury in the Kings' 3-2 loss to Chicago on Saturday at the Forum and did not make the trip for tonight's game at Calgary. Stephane Fiset will start and the Kings' recalled Jamie Storr from Phoenix, their minor league affiliate, on Sunday. Defenseman Jan Vopat, who has sat out the last five games because of an ankle injury, did make the trip and is questionable for tonight's game.

Stephane Fiset will start in goal in the Kings' opener Saturday night in Nashville, and don't be surprised if he continues to play the majority of the time. Though Coach Andy Murray believes he has two No. 1 goalies, Fiset appears to have won the starting job based on his performance in exhibition play. Fiset was 3-1 with a 1.50 goals-against average to Jamie Storr's 1-2-1, 2.38. * One marked change in the Kings from last season has been the stability of the first three lines.

Stephane Fiset made 37 saves for his first shutout of the season and Joe Sakic scored his league-leading 16th power-play goal as Colorado beat Boston, 3-0, Tuesday night at Boston in a game originally scheduled for Monday. Because the Avalanche plays again tonight in Denver, goalie Patrick Roy was sent home early. * Steve Thomas scored twice as New Jersey defeated St. Louis, 4-2, at East Rutherford, N.J. St. Louis center Adam Creighton broke his jaw in the third period. . . .

With such a glut of centers that two are usually scratched, the Kings added another Thursday when they claimed Brandon Convery off waivers from Vancouver. "Any time you are on waivers, you don't know where you are going," he said. "I was ecstatic to find out it was L.A." So ecstatic that he was in Los Angeles and available to play Thursday night against the Rangers. And was scratched. Convery, 24, had two goals and nine points in 12 games for the Canucks, who scratched him in four other games.
