Andre Burakovsky is the undisputed hero of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final for the Colorado Avalanche.
The 2022 Stanley Cup Final kicked off on Wednesday to extreme fanfare, with the back-to-back champions in the Tampa Bay Lightning taking on the high-flying Avalanche. Game 1 was an incredible showcase of the talent these two teams possess, with the Avalanche taking leads of 2-0 and 3-1 and the Lightning eventually battling back to force the game into overtime at 3-3.
It was, however, a real quick overtime, as Burakovsky scored the game-winner just a minute and 23 seconds into the extra frame after yet another costly turnover burned the Lightning.
