The Tampa Bay Lightning have defeated the Dallas Stars in six games to win their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. Defenseman[ Victor Hedman has won the Conn Smythe trophy for being the most valuable player in the Stanley Cup Playoffs putting up 10 goals and 22 points.
All season, the Lightning have been a dominant team, with a good roster. The Lightning have a strong forward core led by Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov. On defense, they have Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh, Mikhail Sergachev and more. And lastly in net, the Lightning have Andrei Vasilevskiy who has played amazing in the Playoffs. The most surprising part about this is that the Lightning managed to win the Stanley Cup without their captain and one of their best players, Steven Stamkos.Â
On the flip side, the Dallas Stars made a miraculous playoff run, upsetting many teams and making the Stanley Cup with unsung playoff heroes. But in the end, the Lightning have well-deservedly won the Stanley Cup. Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning for winning the 2020 Stanley Cup.
