OTTAWA – Victor Hedman scored the overtime winner as the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Ottawa Senators 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Tampa finally beat Ottawa’s Mike Condon, who had 35 saves and was nothing short of spectacular at times.
The Lightning extended their winning streak to four games, but remain outside the playoff picture as a New York Islanders 3-2 overtime win over Carolina moves them into the final wild card with Tampa just behind.
Brayden Point also scored for Tampa (34-26-9), as Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves.
Tommy Wingels scored for the Senators (39-22-7), who saw a six-game winning streak come to an end.
Ottawa was without goaltender Craig Anderson, who is sidelined with a lower body injury, as is Mark Stone. However, the Senators did get Bobby Ryan back in the lineup after missing 11 games with a broken finger and Kyle Turris returned after missing three games with a finger injury.
