4. Forechecking

The Lightning were keeping the game simple in this one. They got the puck in deep and went in and got it. Their offensive pressure was able to create more offense and most importantly, keep the puck away from their defensive zone. They got to work right from the start with their forechecking game and did not wait around for the third period like they did in game three.
