OTTAWA (AP) -Mike Fisher and the Ottawa Senators finished off an eight-game homestand with yet another victory.

Fisher scored off a rebound at 2:38 of overtime to give Ottawa its fourth straight victory, 3-2 over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night.

``We've felt like we've upped our game and we're finding little ways to win and trying to be patient regardless of the circumstance in the game,' Fisher said. ``I think we've done a good job of not panicking and tonight we stuck it out and got a big win.'

Chris Phillips took a shot from 30 feet out that goalie Karri Ramo stopped, but Fisher controlled the rebound in the slot and scored his 11th goal of the season.

``I was just trying to crash the net and Philly got a good shot on net and I was able to get the rebound,' Fisher said. ``It was nice to get that one in overtime. I don't think we played our best game and we have to be better in certain areas.'

Brian Elliott made 22 saves for his fourth victory in a row, and Ryan Shannon and Chris Kelly scored in regulation. The Senators were 5-2-1 on the homestand.

Cory Murphy and Adam Hall scored for Tampa Bay, and Ramo stopped 24 shots.

The Lightning, coming off a 9-3 home loss to Carolina on Saturday night, have lost four straight and 15 of 19.

``We played hard,' Lightning coach Rick Tocchet said. ``I don't think we gave them much and the goals that they did get they were opportunistic. I thought we played good and I was happy after our last game that they came out with this effort.

``You can tell the guys played a lot harder than Saturday, but it was still a tough one because you want to win these types of games.'

The teams traded power-play goals early in the first period, with Murphy opening the scoring for Tampa Bay at 2:37, and Shannon tying it at 4:53.

Kelly gave Ottawa the lead with a short-handed goal at 9:25 of the second, but Hall tied it 13 seconds later with a power-play score.

Ottawa's Jason Spezza appeared to score with just under 5 minutes to play, but the goal was immediately waved off because Spezza kicked the puck into the net. After a video review, the call on the ice stood.
