Nikolai Khabibulin, inconsistent early in the series, was outstanding in overtime and finished with 60 saves for the Lightning. Kolzig had 44.
Tampa Bay's Dave Andreychuk sent the game to overtime with a power-play goal with 4:06 remaining in regulation. The puck came to him on a fortuitous deflection off the skate of Capitals defenseman Ken Klee.
Peter Bondra scored during a second-period power play for the Capitals.
Andreychuk's goal was Tampa Bay's first that wasn't scored by a member of the Lecavalier-St. Louis-Vaclav Prospal line since it was formed.
Washington coach Bruce Cassidy put his top line against the Lecavalier line this game and finally shut it down -- until St. Louis' game-winner.
``We open the door for them, and Marty St. Louis' line kicked it down every time,'' Cassidy said.
Canucks 4, Blues 3
At St. Louis, Markus Naslund had a goal and two assists as Vancouver staved off elimination for the second straight game.
Mattias Ohlund added a goal and an assist for the Canucks, who scored twice in each of the first two periods.
The Blues made it interesting with third-period goals by Eric Boguniecki and Doug Weight. St. Louis outshot Vancouver 13-2 in the third. St. Louis has never lost a series in which it led 3-1, but the Canucks have come back twice from that deficit to win.
Henrik Sedin and Ed Jovanovski both scored power-play goals in the second for Vancouver. Doug Weight had a goal and an assist for the Blues.
