In a nail-biting rematch, the Colorado Avalanche triumphed over the Tampa Bay Lightning, 3-2, on November 5th. Victor Olofsson shone with two goals, while Scott Wedgewood made 22 saves for his league-leading 8th win. This victory propelled the Avalanche to the NHL's top spot with 21 points. Ross Colton also contributed a goal against his former team, ending the Lightning's 5-game winning streak. Olofsson's scoring streak continues, with a hat trick just days prior. Nathan MacKinnon extended his points streak to 7 games, while Nikita Kucherov reached 1,500 career points, securing his place in the NHL's top 100 scorers. The Avalanche's second-period surge, including Olofsson's power-play goal, proved decisive, despite Point's late goal. The Avalanche faces Edmonton on Saturday, while the Lightning take on Vegas on Thursday.
