Matthew Tkachuk's two goals and Sergei Bobrovsky's strong performance lead the defending Stanley Cup champions to a decisive win.

Matthew Tkachuk scored twice, including a power-play goal, marking his fourth multi-goal game of the season and eighth goal in his past eight games.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 26 saves, improving his record to 15-6-1, while Marc-Andre Fleury allowed six goals in his 1,004th career start, surpassing Patrick Roy for third-most all-time starts by an NHL goalie.
Aaron Ekblad contributed a goal and two assists, while Mackie Samoskevich, Niko Mikkola, and Eetu Luostarinen also found the net for Florida.
