Tampa Bay Lightning capture second Stanley Cup with Game 6 win over Dallas Stars - TSN.ca

EDMONTON — The Tampa Bay Lightning are the 2020 Stanley Cup champions, defeating the Dallas Stars 2-0 Monday to capture the NHL's top trophy in front of empty seats, sprawling tarps, and no fans at Rogers Place.

The Lightning are the champions of the so-called bubbled NHL playoffs, with players kept in isolation for the past two months. Games were played without fans in attendance in hub cities of Edmonton and Toronto to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Vasilevskiy played all 25 post-season games for Tampa, including nine overtime affairs. One of those, against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the first round, was a five-overtime marathon. His record was 18-7.Point scored on the power play midway through the first period, sailing through the slot untouched and putting his own rebound past Dallas goalie Anton Khudobin.

The Bolts were overtime warriors, going 7-2 in extra-session games. They played 221:14 total in overtime, more than any team in playoff history. He defeated Dallas interim head coach Rick Bowness. Bowness had been hired by Cooper as a mentor in 2013 and served the next five years with the Lightning as his assistant.

Congratulations to the CAPTAIN and his team 🎊🎉🥳💙🏆💙glad I followed this team after my team didn’t make the playoffs, now please go home, Edmonton has enough of LIGHTNING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️😊🥰god bless🙏🏼
