The Lightning are looking for their third title in a row and will have to take advantage of Game 6 to tie the series and force Game 7 for the championship. During the regular season these teams tied their series with one victory per side.

Steven Stamkos, a must see player!

The Tampa Bay center is leading the team on offense and is the team's leading scorer and point generator with 106 points and 42 goals on the season. The Lightning veteran has connected very well with Victor Hedman and has made the team fit better and better in all possible aspects, he is a very important part of the team's winning streak and one of those responsible for the fact that the roster will finish third in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division. Stamkos, in addition to being a great scorer, is also an important assist for the team with 64 assists so far this season. Steven Stamkos was a fundamental piece for the team to keep the Eastern Conference title after going down with 2 consecutive losses, his offensive contribution with 4 goals and 6 assists made the Lightning turn the series around and the team will win the last 4 games.

How does the Lightning get here?

The Lightning arrives at this fourth duel between both teams after reacting in the series against the Rangers and adding 4 consecutive victories to win the Eastern Conference title with 4 wins to 2. The Lightning arrives after knocking out the Toronto Maple Leafs in 7 games during the first round and sweep the Panthers in the second round, also with their figures going through a great moment. The Tampa Bay team enters another NHL final and will seek to win the Stanley Cup for the third consecutive year. Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman are the team leaders in points, goals and assists so far this season. The team has found a very interesting dynamic playing with the same base it had last season, as well as the addition of good players to the rotation in Brian Elliot and Andrei Vasilevskiy. With a record of 51 wins and 23 losses, they finished the regular season in third position in the Atlantic Division and are looking to become NHL champions again and win the Stanley Cup for the third consecutive year, the team will seek to tie the series with the Avalanche and look to do damage at home to have a chance to close out the road series in game 7.

Mikko Rantanen, a must see player!

The Avalanche forward is leading the team in offense as the best point generator and top scorer with 92 points, 36 goals and 56 assists so far this season. The Colorado star is back on the ice and is taking advantage of the great moment of the team to be fighting for the ticket to the next round of the Western Conference and, after the changes of the squad in the closing of the transfers, it seems that the coaching staff has made the decision to center the entire game around him. The center's combination with Nazem Kadri, the team's top assister, has generated a great offense for the Avalanche. Without a doubt, the connection between both players is bearing fruit for one of the most favorite teams for the title and we will see if they can respond in the final phases of the NHL.

How does the Avalanche arrive?

The Colorado team arrives at a great moment after leaving out the Oilers and placing themselves as the great favorite in the West to be in the Stanley Cup. Now the team seeks to continue its path in search of winning the Stanley Cup and leaving the drought of titles that are 20 years old. Colorado had a complicated road, but they managed to eliminate doubts, in the first round they swept the Predators, then in the second round they knocked out the Blues by a score of 4 to 2 and kept the Western Conference title by sweeping the Oilers . One of the factors that benefited the team the most was the great season of players like Mikko Rantanen and Nazem Kadri, their level, added to the great season of Darcy Kuemper and Pavel Francouz's saves, has made the team close the regular season as leader of the Western Conference and Central Division with a record of 56 wins and 19 losses. The team arrives as the great favorite to win the series and it is expected that there will be no surprises so that they will get to the NHL finals as soon as possible.
