The Colorado Avalanche had a game they likely forgot as quickly as possible last week in their Stanley Cup rematch against the Tampa Bay Lightning. After a solid output against the Florida Panthers over the weekend, the Avalanche get another crack at Tampa, this time in Denver.

But, the Avs will also, yet again, be down important pieces. No Cale Makar, no Erik Johnson and Josh Manson won't play either. Can the Avs stop this Tampa offense down that much defense?

This is also the first game of six straight games that are part of back to backs for the Avs, with the majority of them having playoff implications. We aren't sure why whoever made the schedule hates the Avalanche, but we know we don't like them much either.
