Tampa Bay has also gone 22-2-1 in its last 25 games going back to December 23, and the UNDER is 6-1-1 in the team’s previous eight too. Colorado was possibly looking ahead to this showdown on Saturday night in a 3-1 upset loss to the Los Angeles Kings as a massive -275 favorite outdoors in the Stadium Series at the Air Force Academy. The Avalanche surrendered a hat trick to Kings winger Tyler Toffoli, with two of his three goals coming after goaltender Philipp Grubauer left with a lower-body injury early in the third period, including an empty-netter. The UNDER is on a 6-0 run in Colorado’s games.
