TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Tyson Jost had three goals, Pavel Francouz made 44 saves, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2 Saturday night to remain the only NHL team without a regulation loss this season.<\/p>\n

Colorado\u2019s 7-0-1 start is the second-longest season opening point streak in franchise history, behind only the 9-0-2 start in 2000-01.<\/p>\n

Jost opened the scoring 3:09 into the game and completed his first career hat trick with a pair of goals coming 2:49 apart early in the second period.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Francouz followed up his first career start and win Oct. 12 against Arizona with a number of nifty saves, including a post-to-post pad stop in the first on Ondrej Palat.<\/p>\n

Colorado, 3-0-1 on a six-game road trip, also got goals from Gabriel Landeskog, Nazem Kadri and Mikko Rantanen. Colin Wilson had three assists.<\/p>\n

Yanni Gourde and Victor Hedman scored for the Lightning, who returned home after a 3-2-1 road trip. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 17 shots.<\/p>\n

The Avalanche went up 2-1 when Jost got his second goal at 3:17 of the second. After Landeskog scored at 5:48, Jost made it 4-1 just 18 seconds later from in-close off a pass by J.T. Compher.<\/p>\n

Compher had two assists.<\/p>\n

Kadri, Rantanen, who deked out two defenders, and Hedman had third-period goals.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay\u2019s Nikita Kucherov sent a penalty-shot backhander in the third over the net.<\/p>\n

NOTES: Referee Kelly Sutherland left early in the first period with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Colorado D Cale Makar lost his balance skating through the low slot during an in-close scoring chance and collided with Sutherland in the corner. \u2026 Avalanche C Nathan MacKinnon assisted on Landeskog\u2019s goal and has a point in all eight games this season.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT:<\/p>\n

Avalanche: At St. Louis on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Lightning: Host Pittsburgh Wednesday night in the second of three straight home games.<\/p>\n
