Avalanche's Darcy Kuemper Makes NHL History

Darcy Kuemper was excellent for the Colorado Avalanche in their Game 4 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Besides making 37 saves on 39 shots, he also became the first goaltender in NHL history to record an OT assist in a Stanley Cup Final game.

The Avalanche will now be heading back to Colorado with the chance of winning the Stanley Cup on home ice. We will have to wait and see if they will be successful in their efforts. Yet, hockey fans shouldn't count out the Lightning, as they of course are the reigning back-to-back Stanley Cup champs.

Nevertheless, congrats to Darcy for making NHL history!
