TAMPA, Fla. -- Radko Gudas was able to joke after being centre stage in what both coaches called a crazy ending. The Tampa Bay defenceman had a puck go off him late in the third and then assisted on Martin St. Louis goal 1:16 into overtime as the Lightning beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-5 on Thursday night. Chicagos Jonathan Toews was credited with a game-tying goal with 1:49 left in the third after the Lightning put the puck into their own net. Tampa Bay defenceman Matt Carle sent the puck from the neutral zone back into the Lightning defensive zone, where it went off Gudas and past a stunned goalie Ben Bishop into the net. "I didnt think the first (goal) of the season was going to be like that," said Gudas, who hasnt scored a goal this season. "It bounced right in front of me, hit my (stick) shaft, my ankle and went straight in." Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said it seemed as if the goal took place in slow motion. "Theres been some crazy goals the last year and a half, and thats one of them," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville added. St. Louis got the game-winner from in-close, with Gudas getting his second assist of the season on the play. "Obviously, that makes it a little better," Gudas said. "We got the win after all, even if something like that happens." St. Louis, the Tampa Bay captain, also had an assist and moved past Neal Broten (923) for 93rd place on the career points list with 924. Bishop stopped 38 shots. Steven Stamkos scored a tiebreaking power-play goal as Tampa Bay (6-3-0) went up 5-4 at 17:31 of the third. Stamkos finished with two goals and two assists. Carle, Nate Thompson and Victor Hedman had the other Tampa Bay goals. The Lightning have beaten the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks twice this season. Tampa Bay rallied from a 2-0, third-period deficit for a 3-2 shootout win in Chicago on Oct. 5. "You look at the game that we stole in Chicago ... I dont think we stole tonights," Cooper said. Chicago (6-1-3) also got goals from Bryan Bickell, Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane and Andrew Shaw. Kane assisted on Shaws goal, giving him five goals and 15 points in eight games against Tampa Bay. Chicago took a 4-3 lead 93 seconds into the third on Shaws in-close power-play goal. It was the first time the Blackhawks have scored during the third period since opening night. Hedmans first goal in 41 games tied it at 4 at 11:03 of the third. After blowing a two-goal lead, Stamkos gave Tampa Bay a 3-2 advantage at 17:21 of the second when he beat backup goalie Nikolai Khabibulin from the top of the right circle. It was just Khabibulins second start in Tampa since helping the Lightning win the 2004 Stanley Cup. Khabibulin made 19 saves. "Hell be better going forward," Quenneville said. Kane pulled the Blackhawks even at 3-3 on a breakaway goal with 1:07 remaining in the second. Bickell cut the Blackhawks deficit to 2-1 with a rebound goal with 11 minutes left in the second. The left wing has a goal in three consecutive games. Chicago tied it at 2-all on Hossas thigh-high re-direction 1:36 after Bickell scored. Hossa has 438 goals, which ties him for 62nd place all-time with Gary Roberts. Tampa Bay took advantage of its first power play as Carle put the Lightning up 1-0 6:28 into the game. The Blackhawks entered with the NHLs third-worst short-handed unit. Thompson stopped a 19-game goal drought to make it 2-0 during a short-handed 2-on-1 at 1:24 of the second. NOTES: There were a number of Hockey Hall of Famers with ties to the Blackhawks in attendance. Current Lightning broadcaster Phil Esposito spent time with former teammate Bobby Hull. Others at the game included Stan Mikita and current Blackhawks senior adviser Scotty Bowman. ... Stamkos has nine goals and 14 points in seven games against the Blackhawks. ...

ET, CBSOPENING LINE — Falcons by 3 1/2RECORD VS.(SportsNetwork.com) - A rivalry as strong as Bethune-Cookman versus South Carolina State got the type of ending it deserved Saturday. Spectacular.

Bethune tied the game at 14-14 when SCSU was hoping to run out the clock but fumbled a snap deep in its territory, which the Wildcats Donald Smith scooped up for a 3-yard touchdown return. There were only two offensive touchdowns in the game. Quentin Williams 43-yard scoring pass to Jhomo Gordon just 37 seconds into the game gave Bethune a 7-0 lead. SCSU tied the game on Justin Hughes 44-yard interception return with 5:24 left in the second quarter.
