Josh Anderson jumped back into the play, and the Montreal Canadiens ended Tampa Bay’s chance for a Stanley Cup sweep.
Anderson scored his second goal 3:57 into overtime, and the Canadiens avoided elimination by defeating the defending champion Lightning 3-2 in Game 4 on Monday night.
Carey Price stopped 32 shots for Montreal, and rookie defenseman Alexander Romanov also scored.
The series shifts to Tampa Bay for Game 5 on Wednesday night.
Interim coach Dominique Ducharme’s lineup changes paid off as Romanov stepped up in just his third career playoff game. Anderson was shifted to a new line, playing alongside Nick Suzuki and rookie Cole Caufield in Ducharme’s bid to add more speed.
