The Colorado Avalanche finally has an opponent for the Stanley Cup Final. After being down 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Tampa Bay Lightning have rattled off four straight wins over the New York Rangers to win the Eastern Conference.
On eight days' rest, the Avs will come in without game-speed play in over a week. It has allowed a couple of guys to get rested, though, as both Andrew Cogliano and Nazem Kadri skated on June 11 but did not take any stick work or contact.
