Offence: Montreal needs to score goals... Montreal needs to score goals. The Canadiens have have to use their speed advantage to get pucks in behind Philadelphia defence, just like they did so successfully in game 3. It's also time for the skilled guys not named Brian Gionta or Mike Cammalleri to score. Thomas Plekanec was the Habs leading scorer this season with 70 points, yet has just 4 assists in his last 12 games. Plekanec, among others (Scott Gomez, Andrei Kostitsyn) have to do more.
Defence: The defence has not played all that bad in game 4. Aside from P.K. Subban's misplay that led to Ville Leino's goal, Claude Giroux's goal may have been stopped by Josh Gorges had he not a skate problem. Roman Hamrlik has been solid the whole series, and the defence in general has done a better job of allowing Jaroslav Halak to see the shots.
Goal: Halak has played well enough to win every game except game 1. The only problem with Halak right now is that he can't score goals.
Lineup: Tom Pyatt didn't finish game 4 because of an upper-body injury. If he can't go for game 5, Mathieu Darche or Sergei Kostitsyn will.
