The Colorado Avalanche came into their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning riding a three game win streak. In that span, the Avalanche have outscored their opponents 11–5. One of these wins even came with the backup goalie, Ivan Prosvetov, in net. The point is, the Avalanche are on a roll and made their win streak four games. They beat the Lightning with ease 4–1 at home. This will now become Colorado’s second longest win streak this season behind their season opening six-game win streak.

The Avalanche now have a strong hold on first place in the Central Division after defeating the Lightning.
