Colorado at Tampa Bay

Colorado got off to a slow start this season, primarily due to many injuries. Still, the Avalanche has won six of seven, including a 3-0 road trip, with wins at Philadelphia, Washington, and Florida. The Avs beat the Panthers 7-4 on Saturday when Jonathan Drouin scored his first two goals this season, Mikko Rantanen added a goal and three assists, and Alexandar Georgiev had 27 saves. Tampa Bay lost two straight after falling to Dallas 4-2 on Saturday, and the Lightning lost six of seven players with one day of rest. Tampa Bay has lost six of its past nine games and four of five against Central Division foes. Take the Avalanche.
