Talented Tampa Bay is sixth in the NHL in goals allowed with a winning record both home and away. The Lightning have earned back-to-back victories on their four-game road trip, at Edmonton (3-2) and at Vancouver (3-2). Nikita Kucherov scored the first of his team's three third-period goals in a 3-2 victory against Edmonton on Friday. He then tallied the overtime winner in a 3-2 victory at Vancouver on Saturday, giving him 10 goals and 10 assists in his last 16 games. The Lightning are 8-3 against the Western Conference, as well as 17-5-4 UNDER versus the West and 26-12-4 UNDER the total on the road. Colorado is a .500 home team bad on defense, #25 in goals allowed, #23 in penalty killing. The Avalanche are 3-7 against the Eastern Conference and 15-5-1 UNDER when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. Take Tampa Bay and the UNDER.
