Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Will the Avalanche be able to get revenge?

Prediction for the NHL Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning match, which will take place on February 15. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Avalanche had a double trip to Florida, and following their loss to Tampa Bay, they got back at the Panthers, an easier team for the Lightning. Colorado scored five times and won 5:3 - Nathan MacKinnon had 2+1 goals and one assist, O'Connor, Taves, and Nieto scored goals apiece, and Alexander Georgiev made 42 shots. The team continued to score points overall, picking up their wins. The Avalanche are still out of the playoff zone but just one point behind the top-3 of the Central Division. There's hardly any reason to doubt that the reigning champion will play in the postseason.

After their landmark win over Colorado, the Lightning traveled to Dallas and beat one of the Western Conference's top teams there. Anthony Cirelli made the double, Brandon Hagel scored a goal in the empty net, and Andrei Vasilevsky saved 28 shots (3:1). Tampa Bay is in excellent form, sitting in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings and has won ten of its last 15 games.

The participation of two essential Colorado defenders, Erik Johnson and Kyle Macar, in the upcoming game is questionable. In addition, the main goalie Pavel Frantsoz may not have time to recover from injury. There are severe doubts that with such losses on the roster, the Avalanche will be able to take revenge on Tampa Bay for their recent defeat. The Lightning is on a roll right now and can outscore Colorado for the second consecutive game. We'll take the Tampa Bay win and bet on goals - 20 of Colorado's 25 home games and 20 of Tampa Bay's 25 road games have seen more than four pucks scored.
