Colorado was dominant in every facet of the game to move two victories away from the franchise\u2019s first title since 2001 and the first by this core led by Nathan MacKinnon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Valeri-Nichushkin.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Valeri Nichushkin (13) scores the first of his two goals on Andrei Vasilevskiy during the first period of the Avalanche's 7-0 win over the Lightning in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.\" class=\"wp-image-22721297\" width=\"618\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Valeri-Nichushkin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1233 1236w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Valeri-Nichushkin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=925 927w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Valeri-Nichushkin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=618 618w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Valeri-Nichushkin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=308 309w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Valeri-Nichushkin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\"\/><figcaption>Valeri Nichushkin (13) scores the first of his two goals on Andrei Vasilevskiy during the Avalanche\u2019s 7-0 win over the Lightning in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Avalanche go to Tampa for Game 3 on Monday night up in the series despite no goals in the series from MacKinnon. They still became just the third team in NHL history to score three-plus goals in the first period of Games 1 and 2 in the final.<\/p>\n<p>The dominant performance started by pouncing on an early mistake by typically reliable Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak when he bobbled the puck at the blue line on one of the game\u2019s first shifts. It was all Avalanche after that.<\/p>\n<p>Their aggressive forecheck led them to draw a penalty on veteran Ryan McDonagh, score on the ensuing power play when Burakovsky fed Nichushkin for his first of the night. It wasn\u2019t his last, and Colorado poured it on with six of the game\u2019s first seven shots and complete territorial domination with much of the game played in the Tampa Bay end.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay fell to 18-2 after a loss since the start of the first round in 2020. The streak of 18 in a row ended in the Eastern Conference final against the Rangers when the Lightning fell behind 2-0 before roaring back, though it\u2019s hard to see seasoned Colorado fall into the same trap.<\/p>\n<p>Darcy Kuemper was barely tested in net for Colorado, picking up the shutout with 17 saves.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
