- Colorado win 4-3 over Tampa Bay in Game 1 of Stanley Cup final
- Raucous crowd for first Cup final contest in Denver since 2001
André Burakovsky scored 1:23 into overtime and the Colorado Avalanche opened the Stanley Cup final with a 4-3 victory over the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night.
Burakovsky ended it after the Avalanche failed to score on a power play that began late in regulation when three-time champ Patrick Maroon put the puck over the glass. Burakovsky is one of only two Avalanche players who have won the Cup.
