Delay of game, slashing, tripping, holding, tripping.

When you’re up against the best team in the league, the best powerplay in the league, taking five penalties is going to give you a bad time.

The Colorado Avalanche lose their fourth in a row, this time to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 5-2. (4-2 if you don’t count empty-net goals).

We kick off the game with a few line changes to both sides. Colorado is taking a page out of Tampa Bay’s book, going with 11 forwards, and 7 defensemen.
