Two-time past champion Tampa Bay Lightning avoided elimination against the Colorado avalanche in Game 5, primarily due to the late-game heroes of Lady Shift.
Paltan’s next goal gave Tampa Bay season 6:22, with Lightning leading Colorado to a 3-2 victory.
Now, the series is back at Amalie Arena on Bolt’s home ground.
Despite their second defeat in a potential series-cleaning game this season, which has come home in both games in the 5s, Colorado is still leading 3-2.
History is on the verge of an avalanche, with teams leading 3-1 in the best ever Stanley Cup final at an all-time high of 35-1.
Beyond the ice, Tampa Bay is no stranger to playing with your back to the wall. With a 3-0 win in the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs, the team is 4-0 in a possible elimination game of the last three seasons.
While trying to join the 1942 Maple Leafs, the Stanley Cup Final was the only team to wipe out the 3-1 series deficit as the Lightning had to climb some more high hills.
Here are the best places and sounds of Sunday nights in the potential series-Clinching Game 6.
Return to Tampa Bay
They have the big task of Lightning in front of them, but if this promotional video – and their accurate record in the Elimination Games of the last three seasons – is any indication, they will face the challenge.
