Morning Coffee: Avalanche Now One Win Away From The Stanley Cup

Nazem Kadri returned from injury to play in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in his career last night.

It was an unforgettable debut.

Kadri scored his first career playoff overtime goal as the Colorado Avalanche beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead.

It was Colorado’s ninth comeback win of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which is one shy of matching the all-time record for the most in a single postseason.

It wasn’t without a little controversy, either. 

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Thursday, June 23rd, 2022.

Kadri’s OT Winner Gives Colorado 3-1 Lead

It took a few moments for Kadri and almost everybody else that was watching Game 4 to realize that he has scored the overtime winner.

It took a lot longer than that to realize that the Avalanche had six skaters on the ice when Kadri scored the goal.   

NAZEM! KADRI! The @Avalanche take a 3-1 series lead!
