After the game, forward Brendan Gallagher, goaltender Carey Price, forward Josh Anderson and forward Phillip Danault spoke with reporters via Zoom.
They were followed by interim head coach Dominique Ducharme.
Here are a few highlights from their respective chats:
Gallagher on the commitment to kill off the four-minute penalty to captain Shea Weber:
Webby's our leader. You can't ask for a better teammate, so obviously the guys wanted to bear down, especially for him. We understand the situation we're in. I think we would've killed it for anyone. But, he's been a rock for us since coming to our team. The physicality that he brings, it's just what you expect from him every single night. He's hard to play against. Especially as these series go on, he's a pain. We're happy to have him on our side.

Gallagher on Anderson's two-goal effort in Game 4:
We understood the hole we were in. We talked about it. Find a way to win one game here, really simplify your mindset, and Andy stepped up and scored a couple of big goals for us. It's going to be the same thing next game. We'll put this one behind us as soon as we leave the rink here and come with that same mentality, win one hockey game. We've kind of been through this already in the first round against Toronto. You really simplify that mindset, and hopefully you live to fight one more day.

Price on the help he's receiving to deny the Lightning prime scoring opportunities:
Our guys are playing really well in front of me. We're doing our best to limit chances and clear rebounds.
Price on the resiliency of the group after surrendering a pair of leads on Monday night:
We've faced adversity all season long and responded well, but we've got a lot of work left to do.
Anderson on the feeling of coming up clutch to keep the season alive:
We didn't want to end it tonight in front of our fans. We expected to go to Tampa. I think everybody in that locker room packed their bags this afternoon. We just had that feeling that we were going to win tonight and give ourselves a chance to go there, take care of business, and come home in front of our fans. We're in a good position now.

Anderson on overcoming adversity with respect to Weber's double-minor:
Our penalty kill has been outstanding all playoffs, so we came back to the room and we just believed in each other. We weren't down. It was all positive things in the room. We just had to execute. I thought we did a phenomenal job. Carey was a wall tonight. He gave us that chance to finish it in overtime. Everyone stuck together and did their jobs.

Danault on the Habs' all-important penalty kill:
It was a big moment. We did great work to kill off that penalty. Now, we just focus on the next game.

Danault on the return of Jake Evans and his work in the faceoff circle:
It was a great decision to put him in the lineup. Jake was solid defensively. He's good on faceoffs and on the penalty kill. He brings a lot to our team against Tampa Bay.
Ducharme on denying the Lightning a chance to hoist the Stanley Cup at the Bell Centre:
We're proud of what we accomplished tonight, but we don't want to just avoid seeing the Lightning players holding the Stanley Cup. We have no intention of stopping now. We want to go to Tampa and come back to play another game here.

Ducharme on the chat in the locker room before OT:
We weren't going to lose this game on a penalty to our captain. I was convinced that our players would kill it off. It shows the character of our group. We wanted to do everything we could to kill the penalty for our captain.
