Avalanche Defeat Lightning in Six Games

playoffs began on May 2, 2022, one day after the regular season ended and concluded on June 26, 2022

The Colorado Avalanche are the 2022 Stanley Cup champions, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games. The Avalanche won the series 4-2, with the final game being a 2-1 victory at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

The Avalanche's victory is their third Stanley Cup championship in franchise history, and their first since 2001. It is also the first Stanley Cup championship for the city of Denver since the Colorado Rockies won the World Series in 2007.

The Avalanche's victory was a culmination of a season in which they were one of the most dominant teams in the NHL. They finished the regular season with a 56-19-7 record, and they were the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

In the playoffs, the Avalanche defeated the Nashville Predators, the St. Louis Blues, and the Edmonton Oilers before facing the Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final.

The Lightning were the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they were looking to become the first team to win three consecutive Stanley Cups since the New York Islanders did it from 1980 to 1983.

However, the Avalanche were too much for the Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final. The Avalanche won the first two games of the series at home, and they never looked back.

The Avalanche's victory is a testament to the team's hard work and dedication. They were the best team in the NHL all season long, and they proved it by winning the Stanley Cup.
