SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Aaron Ekblad came back, and the Florida Panthers made an emphatic return to their winning ways.

Against the reigning Stanley Cup champions, no less.

Roberto Luongo stopped 27 shots for his fourth shutout of the season, Ekblad scored in his first game back after recovering from a concussion and the Panthers easily handled the Chicago Blackhawks 4-0 on Friday night to snap a four-game slide.

Florida had lost its last eight meetings with Chicago, last beating the Blackhawks on March 8, 2011.
