Colorado players celebrate Nazem Kadri’s overtime winning goal Source: SITA / AP / John Bazemore TAMPA – Colorado hockey players share a single triumph since winning the Stanley Cup. On Thursday night, the two-time Tampa Bay defender defeated 3: 2 after extra time and are already 3: 1 in the NHL playoff final. Slovak defender “bleskov” Erik Černák recorded assistance in opening the match goal, but played only seven minutes and 37 seconds, because after blocking the shot in the second period, he headed to the locker room and never returned. Until then, he managed to score a plus point, three shots, two points and two blocks. Tampa led 1: 0 and 2: 1 in the fourth final, but did not take advantage of the lead. Nazem Kadri extra time the Avalanche victory in the 13th minute. He jumped into the match after a broken thumb for the first time since June 4 – since the third match of the Western Conference final with Edmonton. Before his injury, he played 13 games in the playoffs, scoring six goals and adding eight assists. “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life. I figured it was time to join this party,” laughed Kadri, who used the penetration after a quick counterattack in overtime. According to Tampa’s coach, the winning shot should not have paid Goalkeeper Darcy Kuemper quickly played the puck at Artturi Lehkonen, and Kadri then “hung” under the upper net of the home team’s goal. However, Puk did not manage to connect with it, as his team mates had hoped, and the ball went out. It wasn’t until a few seconds later that the players of the guests noticed him in the goal and a geyser of joy broke out in the “avalanche” team. However, according to Tampa coach Jon Cooper, Kadri’s victory did not apply when he indicated too many guests on the ice at the time of his achievement. “This goal hurts us even more than the others. It’s hard for me to talk about it now, we’d better talk about it tomorrow. You’ll understand what I mean when you see the winning hit again. My heart is broken now because of the players, because we’re probably they still had to play, “Cooper said.

Not one of the four saw Colorado’s guilt for too many players on the ice at the decisive moment of the match. In addition, this offense cannot be the subject of an additional video examination. The emotional coach of Tampa did not want to evaluate the match more, so he did not even provide additional information about Černák’s injury. He blocked Nathan MacKinnon’s shot from the left 26 minutes in, and managed to keep the visitors from going up another goal. Immediately after this moment, he could not burden his leg with weight, so according to ESPN reporter Emily Kaplan, two assistant coaches had to help him into the cabin through the tunnel. Although he has already appeared on the substitute in the third period, he did not return to the game. During one of the advertising breaks, he tried to load his leg on the ice, but he was not fully prepared and he was no longer sitting on the substitute. Černák with assistance Černák is one of Tampa’s busiest defenders, he had an average minute of 19:53 before the fourth duel of the final. Already before the injury, in the 36th second of the match, he credited his account with his first assistance and the second point in the ongoing elimination team during the intervention of Anthony Cirelli. Although goalkeeper Kuemper eliminated the attempts of Ryan McDonagh, Alex Killorn and Brandon Hagel in a short sequence, Černák’s cannonball from the right circle then bounced off his mask and Cirelli opened the score with a hit into the exposed goal. The fifth duel is scheduled for Denver on Saturday night at 2.00 p.m. 1: 0, 1: 1, 0: 1 – 0: 1)
