NHL: Tampa Bay 5, Ottawa 2

TAMPA, Fla., March 29 (UPI) -- Tampa Bay's Dominic Moore notched two goals an assist Tuesday and the Lighting posted a rare March win with a 5-2 victory over Ottawa.

Martin St. Louis scored twice and Steven Stamkos added an empty-net goal and an assist for the Bolts, who won for only the third time this month.

They came into the game hoping their clinch their first post-season berth since 2007, but Carolina's win over Washington Tuesday delayed the celebration for the Lightning, who are seeded fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Dwyane Roloson turned aside 31-of-33 shots to earn the victory.

Jason Spezza and Milan Michalek scored and Curtis McElhinney made 26 saves for the Senators.
