NHL Stanley Cup Final 2022: Odds, Hot Takes, Top Storylines for Game 5

The Stanley Cup will be inside Ball Arena on Friday night.

The Colorado Avalanche hold a 3-1 advantage on the Tampa Bay Lightning going into Game 5 on home ice, where they outscored the two-time reigning champion 11-3 in Games 1 and 2.

Colorado put the clinching situation in play with an overtime win over the Lightning. That was its second victory in an extra period in the Stanley Cup Final.

Tampa Bay produced a few series comebacks throughout the 2022 NHL Playoffs, but none of its opponents have been as talented as the Avalanche.

Colorado has not let anything faze it in the postseason, and it has a 15-3 record to show for it.
