Avalanche Hang 7 Goals on Lightning in Game 2 Blowout (7-0), Lead Series (2-0)

It’s snowing goals! The Avalanche look well on their way to thwarting the Lightning’s three-peat attempt after Saturday night’s net barrage in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Colorado shattered Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy with seven goals in a 7-0 shutout, including two apiece from Cale Makar and Valeri Nichuskin. Meanwhile, Avs’ goalie Darcy Kuemper only needed 16 saves for a blank sheet. The biggest question heading into the Finals was whether or not Colorado could score enough goals on Vasilevskiy to keep their high-power offense snowballing… And it appears they can. The series shifts to Tampa Bay for Game 3 tonight.
