The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 in Game 5 to win the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy was named the winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.

Vasilevskiy recorded five postseason shutouts, including one in each of the four series clinching games, and solidified his case to be called the best goalie in the world.
