What you need to know: The Stanley Cup Final gets underway Wednesday night with Game 1 of the best-of-seven series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena in Denver.

The Lightning are playing for their third consecutive Stanley Cup title. No NHL team has won three straight since the early 1980s when the New York Islanders won four titles in a row.

The Avalanche and Lightning met twice in the regular season and Colorado won both games. The Avalanche clinched home-ice advantage by finishing first in the Western Conference with a 56-19-7 regular-season record, and then topped Nashville, St. Louis and Edmonton in the playoffs.
