Only one team (the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs), has done this in the Stanley Cup Final.Montreal will need to accomplish this feat even though they won Game 4. However, the Canadiens' incredible grit and perseverance combined with Carey Price's brick wall goaltending kept Monday alive.Anderson and Price were heroes for the Habs in their pursuit to win the first Stanley Cup since 1993.Thanks to the hard work of Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, Anderson was in the right spot at the right moment to open the scoring.Eric Engels, Sportsnet, stated that the Canadiens were now in a position they had never been in in any series.Lightning right wing Barclay Goodrow tied it at one in the second period. But rookie defenseman Alexander Romanov responded with his first postseason goal.StatsCentre reported that Romanov made history despite only playing in his third career playoff match.Lightning had the chance to win back-to-back Stanley Cups when Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber was cited for high-sticking Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat.Tampa Bay had four chances on goal in overtime with a man advantage.

They had an extra man for 10 minutes thanks to four minor penalties, and a double major, but they were unable pull it off.This was an unexpected result for a Tampa Bay team, which had converted on 33.8 per cent of its power-play opportunities this postseason.The Weber double minor gave Tampa Bay 2 minutes and 59 seconds with an extra man at overtime. It didn't work though.The final goal was scored by the Lightning just before the Weber penalty. Kucherov was in a great position to score the game-winning goal, but his shot sailed off the post and landed harmlessly.Bryan Burns, the official website of the Lightning, reported that Jon Cooper, Lightning's head coach, spoke about this one postgame.Cooper pointed out that the Lightning had their chances and converted on two of them.
