What a finish!
For the second time in the Stanley Cup Final, the Avalanche and the Lightning went to overtime.
Again, it was Colorado coming out on top thanks to Nazem Kadri's game-winning goal.

Kadri, who had missed the first three games of the finals with a broken finger, cut in and around the Lightning defense and roofed the puck by the blocker of Andrei Vasilevskiy. The Avs had a delayed celebration, as no one knew the puck was lodged behind the back bar until a few seconds after the shot.
Now, the defending back-to-back champions are on the brink of elimination, facing a 3-1 deficit in the series. The two teams travel back to Denver for Game 5 on Friday, where the Avs have a chance at lifting the Cup on their home ice with a win.
