ST. LOUIS -- Doug Weight scored on a rebound at 1:06 of overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning for their first three-game winning streak since mid-December.

Dallas Drake had three assists in his 800th career game, helping set up Weight's third overtime goal of the season. The Blues, who also got goals from Christian Backman and Eric Boguniecki, hadn't won three in a row since they took six straight from Dec. 6-18.

They've also scored four goals in consecutive victories, reviving an offense that had gone since Jan. 15 without scoring that many.

Cory Stillman got his 18th goal and had an assist for the Lightning, who lost for the second time in 13 games (10-1-1-1). The only loss in regulation during that stretch was 2-1 at Washington on Feb. 3 and they've scored at least a point in 19 of their last 21 games.

Weight scored for the second straight game after ending a 13-game goal drought, beating Nikolai Khabibulin from the right side of the net on the rebound of Eric Weinrich's slap shot.
