Nick Paul’s winning goal:

At the beginning of the match, both goalkeepers showed two important interventions – first Kuemper against Colton and Paul, then Vasilevsky against Compher. Colorado scored the first goal when Landeskog used a power play in the ninth minute. The home team subsequently did not use their own power play, but shortly after its end, Cirelli leveled off. Lightning took the lead 15 minutes into the game by 1 to 0, as Stamkosa Palát elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. The entry into the second period turned out better for Tampa, when, just 86 seconds after Manson’s hesitation, Colton won the puck, which sent him in front of Paul’s gate, and he was right. Vasilevskij had a couple of good opportunities to reply, but the home team’s keeper Colton just wouldn’t surrender. Landeskog lowered again to 2: 3. Three minutes later, Stamkos restored the two-goal lead and Maroon highlighted him a bit more in the 32nd minute. A Frenchman stood at the gates of the guests. In the 35th minute, the “Bolts” played a power play and Perry increased to 6: 2. At the end of the third, the Avalanches had a renumbering of 3 to 1, but MacKinnon did not succeed with its end. More active Colorado players entered the third 20-minute period, but Tampa Bay, which focused on defense, did not give them a better chance. With 54 minutes played, Toewsa nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. Lightning played a power play by two players, but did not increase their lead. Colorado tried it four minutes before the end without a goalkeeper, but it didn’t get to anything more serious. In the third we also saw a few skirmishes. Andrei Vasilevsky 60:00 37/39 31:11 17/22 Brian Elliott – – 26:56 9/10

The Lightning became the 25th team in NHL history to win their third final game after losing the first two. Nashville last did it in 2017. 13 of the previous 24 clubs also won match number four. … The Stanley Cup Final will not have a four-match run in the 23rd season in a row, which is the longest such series in league history. … Vasilevsky is the 7th goalkeeper in the post-expansion era (since 1967/68) to win 10 matches in the final series. Ken Dryden (24), Patrick Roy (18), Martin Brodeur (17), Billy Smith (17), Grant Fuhr (14) and Chris Osgood (11) also did it. … Palát scored 10 goals in one playoff for the second time in his career (in 2020 he scored 11). Of the active players, only Yevgeny Malkin (3x) managed to do this several times. … Palát scored in the ninth home game in a row. None of the team has been able to do that in the playoffs yet. … Makar and Rantanen, with 19 assists in one playoff, equaled Petr Šťastný’s club record of 1985. … Kučerov is the fourth player in NHL history with three consecutive playoffs with a minimum of 25 points. Wayne Gretzky (1983/85), Mike Bossy (1981/83) and Bryan Trottier (1980/82) also did it. … Perry became the first player in league history to score in the final with four different clubs (ANA, DAL, MTL, TBL). Duel Stars: 1. S. Stamkos, 2. N. Kučerov, 3. N. Paul (all TBL) Jon Cooper, Lightning Coach: “I think the turning point for us was that we had to score after Landeskog’s first goals, which we also managed. Then we added another goal and I think we calmed down then, which is not to say that we would have panicked or something. It just gave us a little more room to breathe. The team responded extraordinarily, what we needed. Then we managed to score goals. “Jared Bednar, coach of Avalanche:” I don’t think Darcy Kuemper had a good evening tonight, but neither did our team. You win as a team, you lose as a team. I put him in the same pile with the other players. I didn’t like our game today. We didn’t win a lot of the fights we won in the second match. In some of the goals we collected, we did not force them to hit them. ”
