The Avalanche scored two quick goals and led early in the first period. Lighting goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy had a bad game by his lofty standards. After a Nick Paul goal cut the lead to one, Artturi Lehkonen made it a two-goal lead again with another first-period tally. The Lightning struck back with two quick goals of their own in the second period to tie the game. Burakovsky then ended it in OT. 

Colorado has a great opportunity to take an unprecedented 2 – 0 lead over the defending champions and considering the game is played at home in front of their fans, it is surely advantage Avalanche before heading back to Tampa for Games 3 and 4.
