Tampa needs to win the game either in regulation or the five minute overtime period to keep the playoff hopes alive (a shootout win eliminates them due to the ROW tie-breaker). If the game goes to OT, we may see the very rare scenario where a team pulls their goalie in OT attempting to win the game.

Also, I didn't know this, but NHL rule 84.2 states that if you pull your goalie in OT and the other team scores, you forfeit the loser point.
