The 7-2-0 Tampa Bay Lightning hit the road tonight to take on the 5-4-1 Colorado Avalanche in Colorado.
Tampa Bay has won 6 of their last 7 games and is currently on a 3-game winning streak. In fact, in all of their wins this season, they have scored at least 3 goals. In both games where they failed to score 3 or more, they have been defeated. They are coming off a solid 6-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on the road. Anthony Cirelli scored twice, and Nikita Kucherov added a goal and 2 assists in the win. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 32 of the 34 shots he faced and won his 5th start of the season.
The Avalanche have lost 3 of their last 4, including back-to-back losses to Philadelphia and then New Jersey. In Philly, they dug themselves into a 3-1 hole early in the 3rd period and were unable to crawl out. In New Jersey, they did it again and fell behind 3-1 early in the 3rd period and gave up another one later before scoring 2 goals in the final 4 minutes to lose 4-3. They can ill-afford to fall behind again against this Tampa Bay team that has yet to lose when scoring 3 or more goals.

Our Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
The Lightning have been off to a hot start in the early part of this season, and we expect that to continue tonight in Colorado. With the way that Colorado keeps getting themselves behind in their recent games and the way the Lightning have been scoring lately, this should bode well for Tampa to pick up the road win here.
