Ross Colton forever etched his name in Lightning history with his championship-clinching goal in Game 5 of the 2021 Stanley Cup Final. Midway through the second period, Colton found the perfect spot in front of the Canadiens' net. Defenseman David Savard delivered a brilliant pass through traffic, and Colton redirected it past Carey Price at 13:27 to break the deadlock.
That single goal was all it took to secure a 1-0 victory and Tampa Bay's second consecutive Stanley Cup. Colton's timely finish made him just the second rookie in modern NHL history to score a Cup-winning goal, cementing his place in Bolts lore and sparking unforgettable celebrations on home ice.
