The Tampa Bay Lightning won't be going down without a fight. They are the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions after all.
On Friday night, the Lightning denied the Colorado Avalanche of capturing the Cup, notching a 3-2 victory in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at Ball Arena in Denver. Now, the series will return to Tampa for a Game 6 matchup on Sunday.
"The mental fortitude you have to have to not buckle in the environment we were just in, to play the type of game we did, there's a reason [the players have] got a couple rings on their fingers," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said, per NHL.
