Sergei Bobrovsky and Brad Marchand lead Panthers to 4-0 win over Stars
DALLAS (AP) --- Sergei Bobrovsky made 15 saves for his third shutout this
season to continue his mastery of Dallas, and Brad Marchand had two goals and
an assist as the Florida Panthers blanked the Stars 4-0 on Saturday night.
Anton Lundell had a goal and an assist and Sam Bennett also scored as the
Panthers shook off a 6-2 loss at Colorado on Thursday. Sam Reinhart had two
assists.
Bobrovsky improved to 21-2-2 against Dallas as the Panthers won their fifth
straight over the Stars, including in a shootout at home on Nov. 1.
Marchand gave Florida a 3-0 lead on the power play with 15 seconds left in the
second period and added a late empty-netter.
The Stars were shut out for the first time since losing to Edmonton 3-0 in Game
2 of last season's Western Conference final. They had a four-game home winning
streak snapped. Following a 9-0-2 run, they have lost two straight in
regulation for the first time since an 0-3 streak in mid-October.
Jake Oettinger, who went into Saturday leading NHL goaltenders with 14 wins,
stopped 18 shots and lost his second consecutive start following six straight
wins, dropping to 1-7-1 against the Panthers.
Florida's power-play goal ended a streak of 35 consecutive Stars penalty kills.
The Panthers went in with the league's worst road power play at 9.3%.
Dallas entered with the NHL's top power play --- both overall (33%) and at home
(40%) --- but went 0 for 3 and was outshot 3-1.
Lundell's goal 19 seconds into the second period, tucked in at the post after
toe-dragging between two Stars, was his third in five games.
Bennett's goal in the second went off his right skate and was upheld following
a video review.
Up next
Panthers: At Tampa Bay on Monday to finish a four-game trip.
Stars: Host Los Angeles on Monday.
