The Colorado Avalanche blew two two-goal leads to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Wednesday’s Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.

But that just made it all the more dramatic for Andre Burakovsky, who scored at 1:23 of overtime to give the Avs Game 1, by the count of 4-3.

The Avs lead the series 1-0, Game 2 is Saturday in Denver.

Don’t look now, but the Avalanche are playing for first place on Wednesday

It's an oversimplification to say whoever wins the showdown with the Wild will take the division, but it'll be a big factor in which team emerges on top
