Jonathan Huberdeau passed Scott Mellanby for fifth all-time in Panthers franchise history as he participated in his 553rd NHL game. The Stars have not played a game in nine days since February 13 due to the inclement weather in Texas.
Dallas(5-4-4) got out to a 1-0 lead at the 4:29 mark of the first period. Jason Robertson released a wrist shot from the slot area that was saved by Chris Driedger, however Blake Comeau poked in the rebound from the edge of the blue paint for his first goal of the year. Robertson was able to extend his point streak up to five games.
In the second period, Florida(12-3-2) tied it up 1-1 at 8:41. Weegar passed to his left from the right point and Aaron Ekblad blasted a slap shot from the high slot by Anton Khudobin for his sixth goal of the campaign. Huberdeau was credited with the secondary assist for his team-leading 16th assist and 23rd point. It was Ekblad's second goal in the last three contests.
The Panthers make it 2-1 with 1:42 remaining in the second. The puck got sent around the left-wing boards to Keith Yandle on the left point. His slap shot went through traffic and into the cage for his third tally this season.
The Cats set a franchise record with their most shots on goal in one period during the second frame with 29. They had an incredible 40 shots on goal at the end of two periods.
Dallas pulled their goalie from an extra attacker with over two minutes to go. Aleksander Barkov got to a loose puck at the red line and placed a backhand into an empty net for his seventh goal of the season with 27.8 seconds remaining to give Florida a 3-1 lead.
