Stan’s rested and ready to party.

I personally am a fan of the Kale Dance.

Sportsnet’s intro 🔥

Jan Rutta with the game’s first goal. TBL 1-0.

Darcy Keumper was very leaky on this goal.

Val Nichushkin ties it up.

Makar’s shot handcuffs Vasilevskiy and it bounces right to Nichushkin in the slot.

Nikita Kucherov beats Keumper on a 4-on-3 PP. 2-1 TBL.

Ain’t no one gonna stop that.

Cale Makar ties it up 2:34 into the third period

The puck bounced off Erik Cernak’s skate and in. Nichushkin has been initially credited with the goal.

Palat gives the Lightning a late 3-2 lead.

He found a hole in the high slot and beat Keumper barely with a one-timer. According to Hockey Reference, Palat became the fifth player since 1995 with at least seven third-period goals in a single postseason.

Colorado gets a too many men penalty at the enof the third period. lol

Tampa wins to push to a Game Six in Florida.

Colorado still leads the series 3-2.

Refresh frequently. We’ll be updating this article throughout the game.
