Colorado Avalanche (56-19-7)
@ Tampa Bay Lightning (51-23-8)
Starting Goalies:
Darcy Kuemper (COL): Confirmed
Andrei Vasilevskiy (TB): Confirmed
Current odds:
Colorado Avalanche: (-120)
Tampa Bay Lightning: (-110)
• The Tampa Bay Lightning prevented the Colorado Avalanche from hoisting the Stanley Cup in Denver with a spirited effort in Game 5. The two-time defending champions will look to take another step toward keeping the cherished chalice in their case on Sunday night when they host the Avalanche in Game 6 in Tampa. Ondrej Palat scored the go-ahead goal with 6:22 remaining in the third period to lift the Lightning to a 3-2 victory over the Avalanche on Friday. Palat’s 12 career game-winning goals in the playoffs trail only Joe Pavelski (14) and Evgeni Malkin (13) for the most among active players.
• Tampa Bay, which survived an elimination game for the third time this postseason, still trails 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. The Lightning are bidding to join 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs as the lone NHL teams to successfully rally from a 3-1 series deficit to win a best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final. Those Leafs actually came back from a 3-0 series deficit. Tampa Bay has an impressive 8-2 record at home in the playoffs with an average of 3.70 goals scored per game. The Lightning return to Amalie Arena for the first time since dropping a 3-2 decision in overtime on Wednesday.
• Colorado, in turn, has won the first three series on the road and is a sizzling 8-1 away from home in the postseason. The high-octane Avalanche have averaged a robust 4.56 goals and 44.0 percent power-play efficiency on the road. Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog, like Stamkos, publicly said he wants his team to focus on Game 6 — rather than dwell on the events of Game 5. “It’s not supposed to be easy and it’s not going to be easy,” Landeskog said. “We knew that coming into this, we knew that coming into (Friday). … (Andrei) Vasilevskiy had another good night. We felt good about our game, we tied it up in the third and then obviously they created a slot shot there that squeezes through (Darcy Kuemper).
• Colorado defenseman Cale Makar collected a goal and an assist for his eighth multi-point performance of the playoffs. The Norris Trophy recipient trails only Hockey Hall of Famers Al MacInnis (10, 1989), Brian Leetch (nine, 1994) and Paul Coffey (nine, 1985) for the most by an NHL defenseman in a single playoff year. Avs forward Valeri Nichushkin also had a goal and an assist Friday for his fourth multi-point performance in his past seven games.
