The Tampa Bay Lightning (34-16-2) play the 2nd contest in a 4-game road trip Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche (28-19-4) at Ball Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 9 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lightning vs. Avalanche odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Lightning just topped the Avalanche 5-0 at Amalie Arena behind All-Star Andrei Vasilevskiy Thursday, and now the sides go from sea level to the rarefied air in less than a week’s time.
The Avalanche got untracked with a 5-3 in in Florida after the shutout loss in Tampa, but Colorado has been awfully inconsistent with a 2-2-1 record in the past 5 games with 17 goals allowed during the stretch.
