SUNRISE, Fla. — With a 5-2 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at BB&T Center on Saturday, the Florida Panthers defeated the two 2015 Stanley Cup Finalists on back-to-back nights.
Florida (28-15-5) defeated Tampa Bay (26-18-4) for the third time in four games and ended the Lightning’s seven-game winning streak dating to Jan. 5. The Panthers shut out the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 on Friday, ending a four-game losing streak.
Panthers forwards Jonathan Huberdeau and Nick Bjugstad each had a goal and an assist Saturday.
Florida has won 14 in a row with defenseman Aaron Ekblad in the lineup. The 2014-15 Calder Trophy winner did not play during the Panthers’ four-game losing streak because of a concussion.
Florida scored four goals in the second period, tying their season high for goals in a period.
Huberdeau opened the scoring at 8:50, 30 seconds after Tampa Bay goaltender Ben Bishop stopped him on a breakaway. After taking a backhand pass from Aleksander Barkov at the top of the left circle, Huberdeau stickhandled back and forth before putting a wrist shot over Bishop’s glove.
Bjugstad’s goal at 12:36 ended an 0-for-28 drought for the Florida power play. He scored with one second left on the man-advantage, when he redirected Huberdeau’s backhand pass from across the crease.
Forwards Reilly Smith and Vincent Trocheck scored in a span of 1:37.
Smith scored for the third straight game when he made it 3-0 at 15:56. His pass across the front of the net hit Tampa Bay defenseman Victor Hedman’s skate and went into the net. Smith tied forward Jaromir Jagr for the Panthers lead with 15 goals.
