The Tampa Bay Lightning had what they wanted late in Game 4 on Monday; a four-minute power play, their top players on the ice, a chance to win the Stanley Cup.

It just didn't work out.

The Montreal Canadiens killed defenseman Shea Weber's double-minor for high sticking Lightning forward Ondrej Palat at 18:59 of the third period, then cashed in on the momentum when forward Josh Anderson scored at 3:57 of overtime for a 3-2 win.

"We had ample chances to put this one away and we didn't," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. "Eventually if you let a team hang around long enough, they may get you and tonight they did."

Instead of sweeping the Canadiens and winning the Stanley Cup at Bell Centre, the Lightning have to try again at home in Game 5 of the best-of-7 series on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS).

Not much changes from their perspective, other than they're down to three chances to win the Stanley Cup.

"You can't pick your adversity," Cooper said. "You hit a little bit of it, and you have to fight your way through it. It's just something we're going to have to fight our way through. We can't hang our hat that we're going home.

"We've been through this before. We've had a chance to knock teams out a few times last year and a few times this year. It's why you go up in series, to give yourself a chance or multiple chances to knock a team out. We just have to regroup and see if we can do it in Game 5."
