Lightning shut down the NHL bubble with Stanley Cup triumph over Stars

The Tampa Bay Lightning are the winners of the NHL’s restart.

Tampa Bay won its second Stanley Cup in franchise history, and the first professional sports championship ever awarded inside a heavily-sanitized bubble, with a 2-0 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 6 on Monday night in Edmonton.

Brayden Point and Blake Coleman had the goals for the Lightning, while Andrei Vasilevskiy waited until his 16th and final win to record a shutout this postseason with 22 saves.

Victor Hedman was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.

The loss ends a magical run for the Stars, who seemed to simply run out of gas after an improbable run inside the NHL bubble.
