Panthers 6, Ducks 2: Nick Bjugstad scored two goals and set up two others as Florida tallied four times in the second period and breezed to victory in the opener of its four-game road trip.

Brad Boyes collected two goals and an assist and Jonathan Huberdeau added one of each for the Panthers, who set a season high for tallies in a game after entering the contest with an NHL-low 27. Vincent Trocheck scored to extend his point streak to four games and Al Montoya finished with 33 saves as Florida snapped a three-game road winless skid (0-1-2).

Defenseman Hampus Lindholm and Andrew Cogliano each scored a goal and Emerson Etem notched two assists for the Ducks, who have dropped five of their last six contests (1-1-4). Jason LaBarbera (12 saves) relieved Frederik Andersen (11 saves) early in the second period before the latter returned to start the third.

With the score tied at 1-1, Huberdeau's slap pass from the slot caromed off the left skate of Boyes and into the net at 1:23 of the second period. Bjugstad scored from in close to chase Andersen under three minutes later, Huberdeau deflected rookie blue-liner Aaron Ekblad's shot past LaBarbera midway through the session before Boyes' power-play goal staked Florida to a 5-1 lead.

Bjugstad's quick wrist shot from the edge of the left circle at 4:55 of the third period capped his four-point performance. The former first-round pick entered the contest with two goals and an assist in 14 games this season.
