Kadri returns, scores overtime winner to move Avalanche within win of Stanley Cup

The Colorado Avalanche are on the verge of achieving their immense potential after a storybook, albeit controversial, ending to Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.

After missing the first three games of the series in recovery from a surgically-repaired thumb, Nazem Kadri scored in overtime on a partial breakaway to vault the Avalanche to a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, moving Colorado within one win of hoisting the Stanley Cup.

Kadri's magnificent and unlikely winner spoiled a brilliant performance from Tampa Bay's Andrei Vasilevskiy, who had to that point thwarted an inspired effort from the Avalanche with 35 saves in the game, including 10 in overtime.
