The Avalanche couldn't quite close out the Lightning on Friday night. Colorado came back twice from one-goal deficits, but Ondrej Palat scored the game-winning goal late in a 3-2 Lightning victory.
The series now shifts back to Tampa Bay, where the teams split Games 3 and 4.
Here are my picks and predictions for Sunday's matchup between the Avalanche and Lightning (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, and PointsBet; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale).
