Avalanche vs Lightning

The Tampa Bay Lightning look to even the best-of-seven series at two games apiece with a win over the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday.

RIGHT? Darcy Kuemper and blocked shots were huge for the Avs in the last minute or so. Nobody will count the champs out under any circumstances, but the Avs would be close to 90% favorite territory if they can take this one. If it doesn’t, we’re gonna be here a while. Tampa is hoping he ties Bryan Trottier, Steve Yzerman, Phil Esposito and others by the end of the night. Nazem Kadri just pulled a Patrick Kane, scoring an overtime winner that nobody seemed to see because it stuck in the net. Memorable ending to a memorable game … and man, the Avs looked genuinely scary down the stretch in overtime, didn’t they? •2h ago •2h ago •2h ago •2h ago This is a nightmare situation for the league cuz it happened in the SC final as OT winning goal. The Colorado Avalanche took a commanding 3-1 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final after Nazem Kadri's goal 12:02 into overtime of Game 4.

Stanley Cup Final: Live updates from Colorado Avalanche vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Game 4 at Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay.

Get yourself a stranglehold on the defensive end of the ice, and you’ll get a grip on this series again. Avalanche center Nazem Kadri on Wednesday participated in his first morning skate with the team since June 4. Prior to the Stanley Cup Final, I predicted the Avs to win series in seven. He is recovering from sustaining a broken right thumb in Game 3 against Edmonton in the Western Conference finals. Kadri participated in his first morning skate with the team since June 4 and also took the pregame warmup. They can’t get the puck on Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy. Most of the play has been in Tampa Bay’s end, but the defense in front of Vasy is strong. The Lightning had the only power play in the first. Colorado has to shift the action on Tampa’s end of the ice, minimizing the risk (and opportunities) in front of Kuemper and forcing the Lightning to get tired chasing them around. Then a little more than five minutes into the second period, the Avs power play put on a clinic, keeping the puck in the Lightning zone for more than a minute straight before Nathan MacKinnon scored his 12th goal of the postseason. Avs are sizzling on special teams in the series (7:30 p.m.): They are 2-for-2 on the PK and 1-1 on the power play tonight. That’s what Nico Sturm delivered on a rebound in front of Andrei Vasilevskiy. It was all the result of pressure, pressure, pressure, with the Avs living in the Bolts’ zone. The referee was right there.

The Avs are most comfortable playing a North-South style of hockey and betting on themselves to come out ahead, but they’ve also proven this postseason that they have no problem playing in tighter contests. With Kuemper struggling a bit, it does make sense for Colorado to err on the side of caution on the road in Game 4. We saw a similar pattern out of Vasilevskiy in Rounds 1 and 3, where he started the series slow and then got better as we got into the business end of the best-of-7. On the other hand, Kuemper has not only struggled in the Stanley Cup Final, but he’s quietly been poor for the entire postseason. Every team — no matter how good — is going to have an iffy game over the course of a postseason run, so it’s not worth overreacting to Colorado’s performance on Monday night. It was their first road loss of the postseason.

Lightning 6, Avalanche 2 Avalanche 7, Lightning 0 Avalanche 2-1 Avalanche 2-0 Avalanche 1-0 Avalanche 4, Lightning 3 (OT) Just 36 seconds in and the Lightning are on the board. But the play was a lot more even than the shots on goals say, as the Lightning blocked 13 of the Avs' shot attempts. Darren Helm is then called for interference and the Lightning go to the power play. 9:18 p.m.: Two big saves by Vasilesvkiy early in the second, one on a MacKinnon one-timer and another on Lehkonen slipping behind the defense. He cut in and it didn't look like it went in at first, but it was ruled it hit the back bar and went out. Then Vasilevskiy makes a stop on a shot by Josh Manson. We're nearing the halfway point of the first OT.

Memorable ending to a memorable game … and man, the Avs looked genuinely scary down the stretch in overtime, didn’t they? Nobody who’s watched the last two seasons will count the Lightning out until Gabriel Landeskog is holding the Stanley Cup, but let’s just say it: the Avalanche are the better team right now. This is a nightmare situation for the league cuz it happened in the SC final as OT winning goal. Following the game, Hockey Operations met with the four officials as is their normal protocol. The Colorado Avalanche took a commanding 3-1 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final after Nazem Kadri's goal 12:02 into overtime of Game 4.

Nazem Kadri lifted Colorado over Tampa Bay with the Game 4 overtime winner in the SCF on Wednesday night.

Early in the third period, the Avalanche equalized the score up 2-2 with a goal from Sturm. Colorado executed d-to-d passing and Josh Manson slung a wrist shot on net. The Avalanche got on the board early in the second period with their sixth power-play goal of the series. The Lightning regained the lead at 10:42 on an end-to-end individual effort by Hedman. The Swedish defenseman - and runner-up in the Norris Trophy to Colorado's Cale Makar - skated from his own blueline into Colorado's zone. The Avalanche went coast-to-coast on the overtime winner. Darcy Kuemper made 37 saves on 39 shots in the victory. Nazem Kadri scored the overtime winner in his first game back in the lineup since Game 3 of the Western Conference Final after suffering an upper-body injury and undergoing surgery.

Nazem Kadri scored in overtime as the Colorado Avalanche took a 3-1 series lead against the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning.

But the pending unrestricted free agent avoided controversy as he scored a career-best 87 points in the regular season. Cernak was hit by a MacKinnon shot during a power play. I believe in him," Bednar said. Then I saw everyone started bull-rushing the ice and that's when I knew it was confirmed." "Our team believes in him.

That said, it's still just a 1-0 lead for the Lightning after the first, despite that power-play opportunity and 17 shots on goal. It looks like the Lightning are over their disastrous Game 2, as they needed less than a minute for the game's first goal. That's a dangerous position for the Avalanche to put themselves in. In fact, Kuemper was about the only thing holding Colorado together for those first 20 minutes. Kuemper rebounded (no pun intended) nicely though while the Avalanche floundered in front of him, being outshot 10-1 through the first 13 minutes. It's Hedman's third goal of the postseason and his first since May 10. But it was still a marvelous move and a monumental goal by Hedman. We're checking the NHL bylaws to see if Makar has to legally surrender the Norris to him now. Colorado doesn't have an even-strength goal since the series shifted to Tampa; all three have come so far with the extra man. Tampa Bay looked dominant early and the Avalanche were all over them in the third. This has been the most tightly-contested game of the series. That led to the thrilling overtime finish, with Nazem Kadri finally breaking through Andrei Vasilevskiy's defense on a counterattack goal. Host Tampa Bay went up 1-0 less than a minute into the first period, as Anthony Cirelli put one in after another shot knocked Darcy Kuemper's helmet off.

As such, the referees should have stopped play and penalized the Avalanche. Instead, they let them play on, and Colorado scored the decisive goal. Below is the NHL rulebook's official definition of the penalty.
