The Stanley Cup final is getting interesting. After Avalanche won the first two games of the series, including a 7-0 loss in the second game, Lightning needed to win the third game at home. They won. That’s what a team like Tampa is doing, trying to win their third straight championship: winning big games.
The Lightning now have a chance to tie the series in Florida on Wednesday night. Being at home is vital for the Lightning, as they have won eight home playoff games, a franchise record. Overall, in those playoffs, Tampa is 8-1 at home.
If the Avalanche wants to give Lightning a second home defeat this postseason, their offense will have to find better ways to score. In the third game, which was Avis’ first defeat of the season, Colorado failed to beat Tampa goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevskiy, despite beating Lightning 39-34.
We’ll find out if the Colorado offensive can get back on track, with the record crashing shortly after 8pm on ESPN and the broadcast on fuboTV (try it for free) Follow below to watch CBS live coverage Sports Game 4.
