From Associated Press

After squandering third-period leads often this season, the Tampa Bay Lightning finally enjoyed the view from the other side.

Petr Klima set up Alexander Selivanov’s tying goal with 2.2 seconds left in regulation and then had the game-winner at 2:06 of overtime as the Lightning rallied to defeat the Vancouver Canucks, 5-4, at St. Petersburg, Fla.

Both goals came as the result of Klima’s slap shots from the high slot. On the tying goal, Selivanov redirected the puck past Vancouver goaltender Kirk McLean.
