The Florida Panthers continued to fire blanks in the preseason as the Dallas Stars posted a second-straight 2-1 decision over the Cats, this time winning in a shootout after taking Sunday’s game in overtime.
After goaltenders James Reimer and Antti Niemi kept the game scoreless through the first forty minutes, the Panthers opened the scoring early in the final frame.
Paul Thompson bagged his second of the preseason with assists going to Greg McKegg and Mark Pysyk at the 2:29 mark.
Later in the period, an interference call on Jakub Kindl put the Stars on a power play and Patrick Eaves tied the game with 5:08 left in regulation.
