 Ekblad scored in a mad scramble in front of the Tampa goal. Jonathan
Huberdeau earned an assist.
It was just the second time in the past nine meetings at the BB&T
Center that the Panthers beat Tampa Bay.

Red Wings 4, Senators 3 (OT)
OTTAWA -- Tomas Tatar scored at 2:04 of overtime to give Detroit a
victory over Ottawa.
Tatar found himself in alone after an Ottawa turnover and beat Craig
Anderson to spoil a Senators third-period comeback.
The victory stopped the Red Wings' losing streak at two games, and
also marked the first time in six game they have scored more than
two goals -- or since their last visit to Ottawa. The loss was the
Senators' fourth in their last five games, and left them with a
3-4-3 home record.
Canadiens 4, Canucks 3 (OT)
MONTREAL -- David Desharnais scored at 3:25 of overtime to give
Montreal a come-from-behind win over Vancouver.
Goaltender Jacob Markstrom stopped 32 shots for the Canucks, who
squandered a 3-0 lead. Goalie Mike Condon made 23 saves for
Montreal.
Adam Cracknell, Jared McCann and Daniel Sedin scored in regulation
for Vancouver. Lars Eller, Max Pacioretty and Tomas Fleischmann
replied for the Canadiens.
Blues 3, Jets 2
ST. LOUIS -- David Backes scored two goals and assisted on another
to lead St. Louis past Winnipeg, extending the Jets' losing streak
to six games.
Backes was moved onto the Blues' top forward line with Alexander
Steen and Vladimir Tarasenko during the morning skate, and the move
paid immediate dividends. Backes' second goal 4:24 into the second
period came when he took a pass from Steen and flipped a backhander
past goalie Michael Hutchinson.
The Blues snapped a two-game losing streak, which equaled their
longest of the season.
