Avalanche rout Lightning 7-0 to take 2-0 lead in Cup Final

Associated Press  

DENVER — Cale Makar barely broke a smile after scoring his second goal and Colorado’s seventh of the night. Looking like by far the better team, the Avalanche overwhelmed the Tampa Bay Lightning 7-0 in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Coach Jared Bednar called it “as close to perfect of a game as you can get from your players.” “I feel like we played to our identity to a ‘T’ tonight,” Makar said. Obviously, we’re getting opportunities but guys were able to able to capitalize, so that’s good part.” Valeri Nichushkin scored his seventh and eighth goals of the playoffs and continued to be the best player on the ice in the final, Game 1 overtime hero Andre Burakovsky beat Andrei Vasilevskiy again and even defensive defenseman Josh Manson and 35-year-old grinder Darren Helm got in on the fun with a goal apiece. “We just played a full 60-minute game.” The dominant performance started by pouncing on an early mistake by typically reliable Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak when he bobbled the puck at the blue line on one of the game’s first shifts.
