They still have a guaranteed home game for a potential Game 7, but of course, the Avalanche want to have a championship parade in their return to Colorado after Game 6 instead of another game. Despite the loss to the Lightning last Friday, Colorado is still seemingly still getting what it wants in terms of puck control. The Avs outshot Tampa Bay once again in Game 5 in even-strength situations to continue their dominance in that area. So far in the series, Colorado has a 5-on-5 57.91 CF% and 59.28 xGF%. Cale Makar and Valeri Nichushkin are ripping apart Tampa Bay\u2019s defense with excellent playmaking. Makar had 2 points in Game 5, while Nichushkin has 4 goals and 2 assists so far in the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals.<\/p>\n<p>The Avs are 8-1 in their last 9 road games.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Tampa Bay Lightning (<a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\">+1.5<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Regular Season Record: 51-23-8<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Lightning are just so difficult to eliminate. With Andrei Vasilevskiy putting together an excellent performance in front of the net in Game 5 and with some timely penalty calls going in Tampa Bay\u2019s favor, the Bolts are still alive, with a chance to tie the series all up at home this Sunday. In Game 5, the Lightning weathered Colorado\u2019s net attacks with Vasilevskiy\u2019s goaltending. The Russian goaltender stopped 35 of 37 shots. Tampa Bay\u2019s offense, meanwhile, got a boost from Nikita Kucherov and Ondrej Palat, who scored the final two goals of the game, respectively. With the win, the Lightning have become just the second team in NHL history to win at least four elimination games in a row by the thinnest of margins.<\/p>\n<p>The Lightning are 8-3 in their last 11 games after a win.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Lightning win, 2-1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/signup\">Click here to make your NHL picks<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"174084\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;972&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tampa Bay Lightning are returning home to Amalie Arena in hopes of forcing a Game 7 against the Colorado Avalanche, who are trying to prevent a meltdown.
