SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Jonathan Huberdeau didn’t practice Monday because he wasn’t feeling well. The rest clearly helped him.
Huberdeau had two power-play goals and Vincent Trocheck scored the winner in a shootout to lift the Florida Panthers over the Dallas Stars 4-3 on Tuesday night.
“Special teams, it’s huge in a game,” Huberdeau said. “We got two early in the game. We need to build on that.”
Aleksander Barkov scored in regulation and the shootout for the Panthers. Roberto Luongo stopped 40 shots, plus two more in the tiebreaker.
“I tried to give my team a chance to win,” Luongo said.
