Florida(32-29-12) wasted no time and make it 1-0 just 2:11 into the first period. Aleksander Barkov scored on a Jonathan Huberdeau assist. It was the 56th assist for Huberdeau this season while Barkov extended his point streak to seven games.
The contest was tied 1-1 by Dallas(38-29-6) with 2:11 left in the first. Tyler Seguin went to the end wall and centered the puck. Alexander Radulov one-time shot was saved by Sam Montembeault, however Jamie Benn put in the rebound with a forehand at the top of the crease for his 27th goal of the campaign.
In the second period, the Stars moved out in front on the power play at the 10:38 mark. John Klingberg notched his 10th goal of the year on assists from Roope Hintz and Seguin.
The Panthers answered back with their tally with the man advantage with 3:03 remaining in the second.
