Edini gol je v 34. minuti dosegel novinec pri Tampi Ross Colton.

Za najkoristnejšega igralca končnice je bil razglašen vratar prvakov Andrej Vasiljevski.

"Zdaj se potrjuje, kako dober je v resnici. To dokazuje že leta in mislim, da se je šele dobro začelo," je svojega vratarja pohvalil trener Jon Cooper. Pri izboru za MVP je slavil pred soigralcem Nikito Kučerovom, ki je sicer v končnici zbral 32 točk, ter Braydnom Pointom.

"Neverjetno je. Vem, da se sliši precej obrabljeno, ampak je res. S fanti smo preživeli ogromno, od lani je bilo veliko vzponov in padcev in vse skupaj je neverjetno. Ni jih bilo prav veliko, ki bi verjeli v nas, a nam je uspelo," pa je po zmagi iskal prave besede kapetan Steven Stamkos.

Nazadnje je naslov uspelo ubraniti Pittsburghu, ki je zmagal v letih 2016 in 2017.

V ekipi starih in novih prvakov pa imajo tudi člana, ki je že pri treh zaporednih naslovih: Pat Maroon je namreč zmagal tudi leta 2019 še v dresu St. Louisa. "To je nekaj posebnega. Težko je zmagovati, jaz pa sem imel srečo, da sem bil v dobrih moštvih," je dejal Maroon, prvi igralec po letu 1964 s tremi naslovi v nizu v dveh različnih moštvih.

Tampa, ki je do prve lovorike prišla leta 2004, je naslov ubranila le devet mesecev po mehurčku v Edmontonu, v katerem je po šestih tekmah premagala Dallas. Kanadske ekipe so brez Stanleyjevega pokala od leta 1993.

TAMPA BAY – Montreal (4:1)
1:0 (0:0, 1:0, 0:0)
