The Colorado Avalanche will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning and put a stranglehold on the Stanley Cup. Colorado has won all four games against the Lightning this season. If you didn't think Colorado dominated in Game one, they definitely did in Game 2, putting seven past Vasailevisky in a 7-0 win. Darcy Kuemper only faced 16 shots, stopping all of them. The Avalanche have been perfect on the road record in the playoffs at 7-0. Tampa Bay managed 16 shots on goal and had no answers for Colorado's speed. Tampa Bay is 7-1 at home in the playoffs. The Lightning is 10-4 in their last 14 games. Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed seven goals on 30 shots faced and will need to step up his game in this one. Before this series, he had allowed two goals or less in four straight games. The Lightning has scored three goals in the first two games with all three coming in Game 1. I am not sure the Lightning can play any worse and can't afford to if they expect to have any chance of winning their third Cup. They should play better on the defensive end and between the pipes

Play on Tampa Bay. This is a 6* play.
