Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa bay lightning: Prediction| H2h
Game 1 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Final did not disappoint. Andre Burakovsky sent off the Avalanche’s loyal home jubilant as he scored 1:23 in overtime to give Colorado a 4-3 win.
Prediction
Avalanche 4, Lightning 3
Avalanche (-150) are rather moderate favorites. This is because they have taken a lot of rest and are mostly back to perfect health. C Nazem Qadri and C Andrew Cogliano are question marks due to upper body ailments, but both could have played here as well.
Lightning isn’t short on the Stanley Cup experience, that’s for sure, and C Brayden Point (lower body) could be close to returning to strengthen the unit. But Colorado takes them home in Game 1.
H2h
Andrei Vasilevsky (12-5-0, 2.27 GAA, .928 SV%, 1 SO – postseason) vs Darcy Kumper (6-2-0, 2.65 GAA, .897 SV% – postseason)
Vasilevsky recorded four consecutive wins after losing the first two games in the previous round in New York. He scored 6 goals in Game 1 after a long layoff, which was a very unusual game. He allowed a total of 5 goals in the last 4 matches of the series.
Kumper suffered an eye injury in the Nashville series and was also ruled out of the Edmonton series. AVS declined to name a starting goaltender, but said Kumper is now 100 percent healthy after more than a week from the previous series. Look for Kuempr to start, but be prepared for G. Powell Françoise in a struggling position.
