The Tampa Bay Lightning lost Game Four, 3-2, in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche. Nazem Kadri, playing for the first time in the series after injuring his hand earlier in the playoffs, was the hero for the Avs just past the 12-minute mark of the overtime period.

The Lightning did a lot of what they needed to do to win this game from the drop of the puck, but in the end a disastrous overtime period would see them come out the losers. Now down 3-1 in the series, the Lightning will have to save three match points if they are to win the Stanley Cup this season.
