SUNRISE, Fla. — Defenseman Aaron Ekblad scored in his return to action, and Roberto Luongo made 27 saves for his fourth shutout of the season when the Florida Panthers defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 at BB&T Center on Friday.
The shutout was the 72nd of Luongo’s NHL career, moving him into 10th place on the League’s all-time list. He was tied with Lorne Chabot and Harry Lumley.
Reilly Smith, Brian Campbell and Quinton Howden scored first-period goals for Florida (27-15-5), which ended a four-game losing streak and won for the first time since its Panthers-record 12-game winning streak ended.
Scott Darling made 28 saves for Chicago (32-15-4), which had its Blackhawks-record 12-game winning streak ended Thursday with a 2-1 loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning. Darling had a 1.64 goals-against average winning his previous three starts.
The victory was Florida’s first against Chicago since March 8, 2011, ending an eight-game losing streak in the series. It was Chicago’s second-longest active streak against an opponent, behind its nine-game run against the Buffalo Sabres.
