TAMPA, Fla. — The first-round series is now a best-of-three between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens, as the teams return to Tampa for Game 5 on Wednesday night.

The Lightning rallied from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 in Game 4 in Montreal to even the series at two games apiece. Tampa Bay forward Brandon Hagel led the scoring attack to two goals in the third period, including the game-winner with less than five minutes in regulation.

Hagel (6-1—7) and Jake Guentzel (1-6—7) co-lead the Lightning in scoring through four games in the series, and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is 2-2 with an .882 save percentage.
