Khabibulin made two stellar saves with his right pad on Marco Sturm, who stole the puck from Cory Stillman along the right boards and faked defenseman Pavel Kubina before bidding for the game-winner.

With 35 seconds left, former Lightning Nils Ekman broke in alone but could not get the puck past Khabibulin, who again got his right pad on the shot.

At 6


1, Tampa Bay is off the best start in team history.

Lightning captain Dave Andreychuk got the tying goal at 5:09 of the third period.
