Cooper said that getting good shifts early in the overtime could make a difference.
"If there's any way you can come out in your first couple of shifts and have your best shifts possible maybe this could end early," Cooper said. "Because teams have been sitting in the locker rooms for 15 minutes."
Garrison said the Lightning try to have the same energy at the beginning of any period and try to make something happen quickly.
"I don't think it's any different when you come out after resting a bit," Garrison said. "You want to come out and put pressure on the other team right away and establish a forecheck."
Now the Lightning can end a second consecutive series in five games. In the first round against the Detroit Red Wings, the Lightning got 34 saves from Ben Bishop to defeat the Red Wings 1-0 in Game 5.
Garrison said it's important that the Lightning learn from that Detroit game, where they had several defensive breakdowns that led to breakaways and scoring opportunities for the Red Wings. Bishop, however, made big saves.
"[Winning the fourth game] is the toughest one to get," Garrison said. "We have been in this position before. In the series against Detroit I don't think we played our best. Bishop really stood on his head for us so we learn from that and not try to give away too many chances."
