If the Canadiens can pull off a victory in Game 4, they would have a 3-1 series lead over the Lightning before heading back to Tampa for Game 5. This would be huge for the Canadiens, as they would have control of the series and three chances to knock out the Lightning.
However, if the Canadiens lose to the Lightning, the series would be tied back up at 2-2. This would once again give the Lightning home ice advantage, which would be far less than ideal for the Habs.
It will be interesting to see if the Canadiens can defeat the Lightning in Game 4. If they do, they will be in very good shape.
