The Florida Panthers were shut out by the Dallas Stars 2-0 at American Airlines Center on Friday night. The Cats, who scored only one goal in back-to-back nights on the road, return home on Sunday to face the St. Louis Blues and finish a run of playing six straight Western Conference opponents.
Both goals in this game were scored by Dallas(26-21-8) during the first period. Florida(24-19-11) gave up a shorthanded goal by Jamie Benn at 9:27. Aaron Ekblad was unable to hole the puck at the left point as Vernon Fiddler knocked it down the ice. He brought it through the right circle, backhanded a pass to the top of the crease and Benn one-timed the puck into the cage for his 19th goal of the season.
The Stars added an additional goal with 2:51 left in the first. Jason Spezza brought the puck into the Panthers zone on the right side from a short pass by Erik Cole. He cut to the middle, put on the brakes to let Ekblad go by him and scored on a turnaround shot from the high slot.
