"After a low event first period that saw the teams combine for just four shots, Anton Lundell opened the scoring 19 seconds into the middle frame when he took a pass from Eetu Luostarinen and somehow kept possession of the puck while splitting Alexander Petrovic and Sam Steel. Lundell's effort took him below the goal line, but he was still able to deposit the puck past Jake Oettinger, who had come out to challenge. Sam Reinhart drew the secondary assist on the play."
"The Panthers would go up by two at the 5:45 mark. Florida regained the zone after a mishandle by Seth Jones, with Brad Marchand sending Carter Verhaeghe back over the line on the left side. Verhaeghe created some space for himself, put a routine shot on the Oettinger and the rebound struck Kyle Capobianco before finding the back of the net off the side of a crashing Sam Bennett's lower leg."
"Marchand and Reinhart would get their second points of the period as the Cats took a commanding three-goal lead with a pretty power-play goal at the 19:45 mark. After Jones had his shot blocked by Esa Lindell, Reinhart tried to sweep the puck through the defenseman to no avail. He reclaimed the puck and sent a no-look backhand pass to Marchand, who fired a wrister by the glove of Oettinger from the right circle."
The Florida Panthers beat the Dallas Stars 4-0 at American Airlines Center, sweeping the season series against the league's second-best team. Anton Lundell opened the scoring 19 seconds into the second after receiving a pass from Eetu Luostarinen and splitting defenders to beat Jake Oettinger; Sam Reinhart drew the secondary assist. Carter Verhaeghe scored after Florida regained the zone and a rebound off Kyle Capobianco deflected in off Sam Bennett. Brad Marchand added a power-play goal later. Sergei Bobrovsky recorded the shutout, and Marchand sealed the game with an empty-netter; the top-six led the offense and the team defended strongly on the road.
