Aleksander Barkov logged his first multi-goal game of the season as the Florida Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Monday at Amerant Bank Arena. Florida improves to 38-21-3 and is on a four-game winning streak. Tampa Bay falls to 35-21-4 and saw its eight-game win streak snapped.

In many ways, the Lightning played well enough to win Monday night against the cross-state rival Panthers. They allowed just two goals, and only one at even strength. But they wasted too many offensive opportunities early, especially on a power play that was 0-for-7 over 10 minutes, 32 seconds with the man advantage.

Seth Jones wanted out of Chicago. The Panthers needed help on defense. And now the defending champs look ready for another playoff run.

Standing tall over his last eight starts, Bobrovsky is 6-2-0 with a .928 save percentage.
