The Avs host the Lightning minus MacKinnon, who was a big part of a Colorado win the last time these two powerhouses met. Colorado has been dominant at home, but they face a very fine road team in Tampa Bay. The Avs have the firepower, even without MacKinnon, but their defense can be suspect. The Lightning have much better balance and superior goaltending. Neither team has played in over a week, a long enough break to favor the offense. These two teams have a history of high-scoring games when they meet. The Under figured prominently for both teams just before the break, but look for the “A” game from both teams tonight and that means offense. This is the lowest total we have seen in ages for the Avs. Take this game to go over.
