After riding a six-game winning streak back into contention for a playoff spot, the Colorado Avalanche are hoping to keep building on that momentum post-All Star break.
The Avs got off on the wrong foot on Tuesday night, losing in overtime against the Penguins. That kicked off a three-game Eastern swing for Colorado. After facing the Lightning, they’ll play the Panthers before returning home.
For Tampa Bay, they’re just hoping to keep stringing wins together. They had won three in a row heading into All Star Weekend before a lopsided loss against the Panthers and letting the Sharks out of a 3-1 hole on Tuesday. Sitting just four points back of the Maple Leafs with two games in hand, this week is huge if Tampa is to close the gap with Toronto in the Atlantic.
They get a chance to climb a little closer in a rematch of June’s Stanley Cup Final.

In their first meeting since the Avs knocked off the two-time defending champs, Tampa is favored based on home ice advantage. The total is definitely worth considering. While the Avs have been a lock on the under lately, both teams feature plenty of firepower.
