Colorado Avalanche

Colorado Avalanche grades from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena.

Gabriel Landeskog: B+ – The only bright spot tonight was the captain and his two goals. Darren Helm: C – He continued the physical aspect of his game but even that took a large drop compared to Games 1 and 2. Alex Newhook: D – He took a few big hits and wasn’t a threat offensively. He took the shot on a 3-on-1 rush, which isn’t bad, but I wonder if he was going to take that shot no matter what. Nicolas Aube-Kubel : D – He jumped back into the lineup after Andre Burakovsky was ruled out. Andrew Cogliano: D – He was feisty out there tonight, but there wasn’t much else from him.
