OTTAWA -- Patrick Wiercioch scored with 16.9 seconds left in overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 2-1 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday.
The Senators (39-26-12) are three points behind the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings for third place in the Atlantic Division.
Boston defeated the Red Wings 3-2 on Thursday. The Senators and Red Wings have played one fewer game than the Bruins.
Wiercioch scored on a shot from the right circle that beat Tampa Bay goaltender Ben Bishop.
Bishop made 32 saves for the Lightning (47-24-8), who trail the Montreal Canadiens for first place in the Atlantic Division.
Two rookies had first-period goals. Mark Stone scored his 20th goal of the season for the Senators. Jonathan Drouin scored his fourth for the Lightning.
Senators goaltender Andrew Hammond, who made 28 saves, is 16-1-1 as a starter in the NHL.
The Lightning played the game without four of their top six defensemen; Victor Hedman, Braydon Coburn, Jason Garrison and Andrej Sustr are injured.
They also played without second-leading scorer Tyler Johnson. Lightning coach Jon Cooper said it was doubtful any of the injured players would be available for the next game, at the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
Stone got the puck in the Senators zone and found Clarke MacArthur with a stretch pass. MacArthur curled in the Tampa Bay zone and made a short pass to Kyle Turris. He shot on net, and Stone scored on the rebound at 5:03.
Drouin scored his second goal in three games at 16:53 with Erik Karlsson off for holding. Ottawa's Jean-Gabriel Pageau had the best chance to clear the puck at the left point in a scrum, but the Lightning kept it in. Valtteri Filppula found Drouin in the right circle, and his shot went over Hammond's right shoulder.
