The Colorado Avalanche dropped tonight’s game to the Tampa Bay Lightning in overtime, 4-3. They’ve now lost three games in a row, with the first two being in regulation.
Andre Burakovsky opened the scoring in the first period, with assists from Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon. The next three goals were all from Tampa Bay, all in the second period. Then Nathan MacKinnon (Gabriel Landeskog, Erik Johnson) cut the lead to one with a late-period goal.
The third period saw a lot of back-and-forth action. Midway through, Cale Makar scored on a bomb of a shot, but the goal was credited to Valeri Nichushkin because it hit his jumping body.
