"Mathieu Garon provided the spark, first knocking down a Troy Brouwer shot and kicking out a Brooks Laich follow-up attempt before poking the puck forward onto the stick of Marty St. Louis.

The play allowed St. Louis to spring Steven Stamkos up the ice. Stamkos fed back to St. Louis inside the offensive zone, where he snapped a shot on goal that wound up caroming into the crease at the right post.

Stamkos swooped in and knocked in the rebound to cap off Tampa Bay's 4-3 overtime victory against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. The goal sent the announced crowd of 17,754 at The Forum into a state of frenzy as the Lightning won a season-best fifth consecutive game."
