Preview

The Tampa Bay Lightning travel to Colorado to face the Avalanche Thursday night in both teams' first game back after the All-Star break.

The Lightning have won 7 of 9 and scored 35 goals in that stretch, almost 4 goals per game.  The Lightning are 14-6-2 away, and are 2-4-2 as underdogs.

The Avalanche, quite unvelievably, dropped their last game to the Arizona Coyotes, losing 3-2 in a shootout.  They had won 10 straight before that, scoring 38 goals in those games.  Looking further back, they had won 15 of 16.  The Avalanche are incredible at home, going 20-2-2.  The over has gone 27-13-4, they score goals.

Head to Head

The Avalanche won the first game between these two teams in October, winning 4-3 in a shootout in Tampa Bay.  Last season, the Lightning won 4-3 in Colorado and the Aves won 6-2 in Tampa Bay.  The Lightning are 7-2-1 over the last 10, and the over has gone 6-3-1.  

Prediction

The Avalanche continue to hit the over, going 27-13-4 this season.  The over between these two teams has gone 6-3-1 over the last 10, and the first game of the series was 6-2.  These teams have both scored nearly 4 goals per game recently.  In what should be a great game between two great teams, it's tough to call and Colorado is incredible at home.  Take the over.

PICK: Over 6.5 (-105)
