There may be just one game left in the 2021-22 NHL season. 

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Avalanche and Lightning is Friday night. Colorado is coming off a controversial win in Game 4: Nazem Kadri's overtime goal appeared to be preceded by a missed call with Colorado having too many men on the ice. The goal stood, however, and now the Avalanche lead the finals 3-1. They have a chance to clinch the series with a victory at home Friday. 

The Avalanche have not won a Stanley Cup since 2001, when the club defeated the Devils. It would mark the third Cup win in franchise history.
