With just 60 seconds elapsed, Robertson took a pass from Hintz and fired the puck past Bobrovsky from the right circle. The play was set up by Pavelski, who forced a turnover by Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling.

The Stars scored 49 seconds later as Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle's pass from his own end was picked off by Justin Dowling in the neutral zone. Dowling skated in and dished a cross-ice feed to L'Esperance, who lifted the puck over Bobrovsky for a 2-0 lead.

Stunned, the Panthers tried to get physical. But Florida defenseman Radko Gudas was penalized for boarding on Rhett Gardner.

The Stars' power play then clicked in just 22 seconds. Pavelski, from behind the net, flipped a pass to Benn, who played the puck off his right skate and hammered home a goal from the slot at point-blank range.

Florida cut its deficit to 3-1 on Barkov's power-play goal with just 1.5 seconds left in the second.

Patric Hornqvist tried to jam the puck in, but it was blocked by defenseman Andrej Sekera. Barkov then scored on his second rebound attempt. Ex-Panthers defenseman Mark Pysyk set up the man advantage by getting called for interfering on Florida forward Mason Marchment.

The Stars stretched their lead to 4-1 with just 1:21 expired in the third period. Robertson picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone and skated in before letting loose from the slot, roofing his shot over Bobrovsky's glove. His goal was unassisted.
