Few teams can relate to the situation presented to the Avalanche on Friday night, needing to grind out one more win to hoist the Stanley Cup.

A split in Tampa Bay earlier in the week sent the Avalanche home to Ball Arena up 3-1 in the Stanley Cup Final. The Lightning is one loss away from seeing its three-peat quest fall short.
