Avs edge Lightning on Burakovsky’s overtime goal to open Stanley Cup final

• Colorado win 4-3 over Tampa Bay in Game 1 of Stanley Cup final
• Raucous crowd for first Cup final contest in Denver since 2001

Facing the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning put the Colorado Avalanche at a sizeable experience disadvantage going into the Stanley Cup final.

When the puck dropped, the Avalanche showed they could use their speed to offset Tampa Bay's players who have been here, done that. And it doesn't hurt to have a guy who also hoisted the Cup.
