Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET, the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens faceoff in Game 4 of their best-of-seven Round 1 Stanley Cup Playoffs series live from Bell Centre in Montreal. The game can be live streamed here. Tampa Bay fans can hear all of the action on WFLA 970 while Montreal fans can do the same on TSN 690.
Montreal looks to become the first team to punch their ticket to the second round by completing the sweep while Tampa Bay hopes to avoid becoming the first victim in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and looks to prolong the series.
The Canadiens took Game 1 5-4 in overtime last Wednesday, Game 2 4-1 on Friday and Game 3 3-2 at home on Easter Sunday from the Lightning.
The Bell Center was rocking for the Canadiens on Sunday, but the team knows the place will go nuts when the Canadiens take the ice tonight in an elimination game.
"It's pretty surreal to be a part of. You can't hear a thing down there on the ice," forward Brendan Gallagher said about the atmosphere at Bell Center via NHL.com. "They're standing, they're cheering the whole time. It's just fun to be a part of it and play in front of it. You know the fans are enjoying it just as much as we are."
Gallagher is tied for the Canadiens team-lead with four points off of two goals and two assists. Lars Eller (one goal, three assists) and P.K. Subban (four helpers) each also have four points while Rene Bourque leads the team with three goals through the first three games of the series.
The Lightning knows that its up against a tough task, but three teams have come back from 3-0 deficits to win the series in the history of the NHL Playoffs.
"When you lose three it feels like the world is collapsing a little bit," defenseman Matt Carle said via NHL.com. "But you get one game and then you get some momentum going. We're looking forward to tomorrow."
Steven Stamkos, who avoided injury in Game 3 when he took a knee to the head, leads the Lightning in playoff goals (2) and points (4) while Alex Killorn (one goal, one assist) and Victor Hedman (two helpers) each have two points.
With Ben Bishop (upper-body) still sidelined, Anders Lindback will likely man the crease for Tampa Bay again after letting up 11 goals on 98 shots while Carey Price will be between the pipes for Montreal after letting up seven goals on 81 shots in the first three games.
The Canadiens look to sweep while the Lightning looks to stay alive when the puck drops on them tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
