The three stars from Tampa Bay’s 6-2 victory over Colorado in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night at Amalie Arena:
Steven Stamkos, C, Lightning: Stamkos’ 10th postseason goal was the most galling for the Avalanche defense, as the former No. 1 overall pick found himself all alone in front of the Colorado net midway through the second period to slot home a goal that gave the hosts a 4-2 lead. No. 91 seemed to be everywhere, winning 18 of his first 26 faceoffs, and racking up two hits through the game’s first two-and-a-half periods.
