The Avs absolutely destroyed Tampa Bay in Game 2 and I definitely don't see these guys slowing it down at all. They have won all of the 4 meetings against the Lightning so far this season and are on fire offensively scoring 5.1 goals per game in their last 10 games. The Lightning haven't lost at home in the last 5 games but the Avs are looking way superior. Take the Avs.
