CHICAGO - Stephane Robidas picked the right time for his first goal with the Blackhawks.
Robidas, a low-scoring defenseman acquired from the Stars on Nov. 17, scored with 19.5 seconds left in overtime to give the Blackhawks a 3-2 victory over the Blues on Sunday.
He skated into the slot, took a pass from Brett McLean and beat Chris Osgood with a low shot one second after a St. Louis penalty for too many men on the ice expired.
In 253 games, Robidas has 12 goals and 30 assists.
"I don't get a lot of chances to play on the power play," Robidas said. "When you get a chance in a four-on-three late in the game, you want to go out there and prove to yourself and everyone you can do a job.
Robidas made sure he retrieved the winning puck.
"It took me a while," he said. "It was good to get the win and the goal. I just jumped in the play. Brett McLean should get the credit for making a great play; I just shot it on net, and it went in."
McLean passed to Robidas after circling behind the net to cap a wild finish.
Kyle Calder's power-play goal with 1:28 left in regulation got the Blackhawks into overtime.
Mark Bell also scored for the Blackhawks.
Keith Tkachuk had the other Blues goal.
