Nazem Kadri was never going to miss the Stanley Cup Finals in their entirety. He wasn't even going to come back for a one off and just be there for the end. He wanted to get back on the ice ASAP and make a mark on this series. Boy, did he.
A classic of a game that saw both the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning going back and forth, headed into overtime for the second time this series. And just like the first time the Avalanche went home the winner. This time it was Kadri, playing in his first game since getting injured against Edmonton, putting home the game winner that not many people even noticed went in. But it did, and the Avs now have a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.
This game was also about Avs goalie Darcy Kuemper. A game to forget in Game 3, many were questioning if he should go back out for Game 4. Jared Bednar was confident he could return to his regular season form, and he answered the call. Kuemper might have let an easy one in by Victor Hedman, but he was great all game long.
Now the Avalanche head back home and have the opportunity to win their first Stanley Cup in 21 years and do it in front of the home crowd. Ball Arena will be a mad house.
