TAMPA, Fla. – Vincent Lecavalier tallied his 49th goal of the season and Filip Kuba scored 55 seconds into overtime Tuesday night as the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped a three-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders.

Kuba tapped in a perfect pass from Eric Perrin that left New York goalie Rick DiPietro in a defenseless position. DiPietro made his first start after missing most of three games because of injuries sustained in a mid-ice collision with Montreal’s Steve Begin one week earlier.

The loss was the fourth straight on a road trip for the Islanders, who rallied from a 2-0 deficit with three second-period goals against Johan Holmqvist,

Tampa Bay swept the season series from the Islanders 4-0 and has beaten New York eight consecutive times.
