The Tampa Bay Lightning will take on the Colorado Avalanche in game two of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Avalanche took game one 4-3 in overtime. Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 38 shots faced. Andre Burakovsky scored the overtime winner early in the overtime period for Colorado. Darcy Kuemper stopped 20 out of 23 shots faced. The Avalanche are 2-5 in their last seven games when playing at home against Tampa Bay. Andrei Vasilevskiy has struggled in game one of the series in these playoffs. He allowed five goals in game one in the first round against the Leafs and six goals in game one against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the last 12 playoff games, Vasilevskiy has allowed one goal or less in eight of those games. He will need to bounce back in this one if Tampa Bay has any chance of winning. I expect the Lightning to be more aggressive and to shoot the puck more at Kuemper. Vasilevskiy will have a bounce-back game for the lighting and I look for them to win a close one.

Play on Tampa Bay. This is a 7* play.
