Andrei Vasilevskiy finished with 29 saves and improved to 15-9-2 on the season.

Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky allowed a season-high six goals on 34 shots.

Jonathan Huberdeau scored the only goal for Florida, which had its three-game winning streak halted.

The Lightning finished off a dominant opening period with a three-goal lead. Point opened the scoring 41 seconds in with a deflection of Erik Cernak’s shot from the right circle.

Hedman made it 2-0 with a slap shot from the centre point at 15:06, and Sergachev scored on the power play with a wrist shot from the left circle at 18:03.

The Panthers cut into the lead with a Huberdeau power-play goal at 2:47, but Killorn answered at 5:53 on the rebound of a shot by Steven Stamkos. Kucherov made it 5-1 with another power-play goal at 9:52.
