The Avalanche are in complete control of the Stanley Cup Final after taking care of business at home in Games 1 and 2. They bring a 2-0 series lead against the Lightning down to Tampa.
Colorado demolished Tampa Bay 7-0 on Saturday night in what coach Jared Bednar called "as close to perfect of a game as you can get from your players."
Valeri Nichushkin and Cale Makar each had two goals in the victory, Mikko Rantanen had three assists and Darcy Kuemper stopped all 17 shots he faced in a game that tied for the second-largest shutout victory in Stanley Cup Final history.
