Sergei Bobrovsky and Brad Marchand lead Panthers to 4-0 win over Stars

DALLAS (AP) — Sergei Bobrovsky made 15 saves for his third shutout this season to continue his mastery of Dallas, and Brad Marchand had two goals and an assist as the Florida Panthers blanked the Stars 4-0 on Saturday night.

Anton Lundell had a goal and an assist and Sam Bennett also scored as the Panthers shook off a 6-2 loss at Colorado on Thursday. Sam Reinhart had two assists.

Bobrovsky improved to 21-2-2 against Dallas as the Panthers won their fifth straight over the Stars, including in a shootout at home on Nov. 1.

Marchand gave Florida a 3-0 lead on the power play with 15 seconds left in the second period and added a late empty-netter.

The Stars were held to a season low in shots and were shut out for the first time since losing to Edmonton 3-0 in Game 2 of last season’s Western Conference final. They had a four-game home winning streak snapped. Following a 9-0-2 run, they have lost two straight in regulation for the first time since an 0-3 streak in mid-October.

Jake Oettinger, who went into Saturday leading NHL goaltenders with 14 wins, stopped 18 shots and lost his second consecutive start following six straight wins, dropping to 1-7-1 against the Panthers.

Florida's power-play goal ended a streak of 35 consecutive Stars penalty kills. The Panthers went in with the league’s worst road power play at 9.3%.

Dallas entered with the NHL’s top power play — both overall (33%) and at home (40%) — but went 0 for 3 and was outshot 3-1.

Lundell’s goal 19 seconds into the second period, tucked in at the post after toe-dragging between two Stars, was his third in five games.

Bennett’s goal in the second went off his right skate and was upheld following a video review.

Panthers: At Tampa Bay on Monday to finish a four-game trip.

Stars: Host Los Angeles on Monday.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Orlando guard Jalen Suggs left the arena aided by a wheelchair on Saturday night after an NBA Cup semifinal loss to New York, and the already short-handed Magic will now wait to learn the severity of his left hip injury.

Suggs was shaken up when he was fouled and landed on the hip late in the second quarter but played on until the fourth quarter. He eventually left the game and headed to the locker room for the final minutes of Orlando's 132-120 loss to the New York Knicks.

Suggs finished with 26 points — 25 coming in the first half. The wheelchair usage was a precaution, largely just to keep Suggs from taking an extended walk to the bus that would carry the Magic back to their hotel. But the hip is clearly cause for some concern.

“We’re going to look at it when we get back,” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said. “At the end of the day, he’s a warrior for being out there and dealing what he’s dealing with. I think we’ll evaluate him when we get back home and see where he is with it.”

The good news for Orlando — which is flying home on Sunday — is that it doesn't play again until Thursday when it opens a four-game trip in Denver. The bad news is that the Magic are already without brothers Franz Wagner and Moritz Wagner; Franz has a high ankle sprain, Moritz is still recovering from an ACL tear suffered last season.

To lose Suggs for any amount of time would be another blow for a team that's had no shortage of injury issues over the last couple seasons.

“He’s been battling through some pain the last few games,” Magic forward Paolo Banchero said. “He’s just been giving it his all for the team and kind of playing through it. So you hope it’s not too bad, whatever injury it is. You don’t want to lose him. But he gave us a great effort in that first half.”

Suggs was limited to 35 games last season with injuries.

“We know who he is and what he’s about,” Orlando's Desmond Bane said. “He wants to win more than anything. He laid it all on the line for us.”
