However, they had Andrei Vasilevskiy to thank for that as he pulled off a string of saves. This continued in the second period, however, he could do little to stop the avalanche&#8217;s incessant pressure from paying off and once they went 2-1 up they were content to hold on to the puck.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa never looked like getting the equaliser despite a late flurry and in the end Colorado were deserved winners.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Game Six\u00a0Highlights Below<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fMeKRJmLE0Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A Bit of Over Enthusiasm<\/h3>\n<p>There might be a bit of a dent in the Stanley Cup thanks to a bit of over-enthusiastic celebrating.
