Huberdeau dished his 71st assist, the most in NHL history by a
left winger. The previous record was 70, set by the Boston
Bruins' Joe Juneau in 1992-93.
Barkov has 31 goals this season. Only once in his career did he
score more, when he produced 35 goals in 2018-19.
Bobrovsky (33-6-3) is two victories from tying the club
single-season record, accomplished twice by Roberto Luongo.
Gustav Forsling had a goal and an assist, Ryan Lomberg also
scored and Sam Reinhart notched two assists for the Atlantic
Division-leading Panthers. Florida won for the fifth time in six
games to post its 46th victory, one short of the franchise
record set in 2015-16.
Collin Delia made 40 saves for the Blackhawks, who have lost
three consecutive games (0-2-1).
Barkov, who had a goal disallowed in the first minute of the
game, gave Florida a 1-0 lead with 18:24 expired. Barkov held
onto the puck as ex-Panthers forward Henrik Borgstrom tried in
vain to chase him down. Barkov finally used his backhand to
stuff the puck in from the doorstep.
The Panthers extended their lead to 2-0 on Lomberg's goal with
7:23 gone in the second. The sequence started when Bobrovsky
stopped Dylan Strome's shot and point-blank rebound. Lomberg
scored 33 seconds later as he made a move off the rush and fired
in his goal off Delia's glove.
Florida's third goal, at 11:46 of the second, came on a long
rebound to Forsling in the high slot. The low shot went under
the stick of Delia, who had little visibility as Florida's Sam
Bennett and Chicago's Caleb Jones crashed to the ice right in
front of the goal.
The goal withstood a video review after Chicago challenged,
seeking an interference call.
Florida, on a five-on-three power play, made it 4-0 on Barkov's
second goal of the night, which came with 6:13 left in the
contest.
