The Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning will take to the ice tonight in Game 4 of their NHL Playoffs series. The game is scheduled for an 7:00 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on the NBC Sports Network. Currently the betting odds for the game have the Lightning favored to close out the series with a victory in this one.

Tampa Bay put Montreal in a near impossible spot with a win last night, taking a 3-0 lead over the Habs in this second round series. Montreal has played themselves into a must-win mode the rest of the series against Tampa Bay or their season will end.

Carey Price has certainly had a pretty nice season, but giving up a goal with just a few seconds left on the clock in last night's game could prove to be costly. Price stopped 17 of 19 shots in that game, but couldn't keep the final one outside of the net with all the confusion out in front of the crease. Tonight Price has to be standing on his head and looking to have another successful game, but he's going to need his teammate to find the back of the net a few more times in order to have a chance at extending the series.

Ben Bishop and the Lightning can play their normal style of hockey tonight, but there is no sense in playing above their means. While Montreal is on the ropes, they'll probably be taking some more chances against the Lightning. 

Montreal can't get swept in this round against the Lightning, can they? Look for the Habs to find a way in this one.
