Prediction, Preview, and Odds
25 Colorado Avalanche vs. 26 Tampa Bay Lightning
Monday, June 20, 2022 at 8:00pm EDT
Amalie Arena, Tampa

The Colorado Avalanche face the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game Three of the Stanley Cup Final with the Avalanche boasting a 2-0 series lead. The Avalanche took Game One in overtime but after a dominating 7-0 win in Game Two, they look to take a commanding series lead and put themselves one win away from winning the Cup. The Lightning, meanwhile, have struggled in the first two games of this series but hope to bounce back on their home ice and rebound in the series altogether.

Avalanche offense builds early series lead

The Avalanche have controlled the series with their offense stepping up and scoring 11 goals in the first two games including seven goals in Game Two. Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, and Valeri Nichushkin have scored four goals and four assists combined to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has been great as well. Mikko Rantanen, Andre Burakovsky, and Andrew Cogliano have combined for two goals and eight assists to carry the middle forward lines while defensemen Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and Josh Manson have put the offense over the top with three goals and an assist from the blue line.

The offense has been great but the defense has stepped up as well, allowing only three goals in the series and shutting out the Lightning in Game Two. Cale Makar and Devon Toews have been a dominant top pairing in the series and the playoffs altogether but the rest of the unit has stepped up as well with Josh Manson, Erik Johnson, and the rest of the defense forcing turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while limiting shots on the net. Moreover, goaltender Darcy Kuemper has been incredible in the series, saving 36 of the 39 shots faced.

Lightning hope to bounce back on both sides of the ice

The Lightning have struggled immensely in this series with their offense scoring only three goals in the first two games. While Ondrej Palat, Nikita Kucherov, and Nick Paul have scored two goals and an assist in the series to lead the top two lines, the rest of the offense has struggled. The hope is that defensemen Victor Hedman and Mikhail Sergachev, who have combined for four goals and 19 assists, can open up the offense as they have only contributed a goal and an assist in the series.

The offense has struggled but the defense has fallen apart in the series, allowing 11 goals including seven goals in Game Two. Victor Hedman and Jan Rutta have stepped up as the top pairing but the rest of the defense has struggled, allowing the Avalanche to find open shots on the net at will. In addition, goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy has played poorly in the net, allowing 11 goals on 68 shots in the series.
