''It was a fun night,'' Bjugstad said. ''It was cool playing with those guys.''

Jagr also had http://... goal and an assist, and Huberdeau assisted on Florida's first two goals.

''Guys play with different guys. The lines aren't going to be the same all year, so I thought tonight obviously (Bjugstad) had a good game. Huberdeau had a good game,'' Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. ''The Jagr line showed they played really well.''

Al Montoya made 33 saves to improve to 2-0-0.

''Al was excellent,'' Gallant said. ''He came in [url=http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-84-prince-fielder-jersey.ht...

Jamie Benn scored both Dallas goals, increasing his total to an NHL-leading eight.

Florida had lost three straight games.

''We had a little [url=http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-3-russell-wilson-jersey.htm... this morning as a team,'' Bjugstad said. ''The way we were playing wasn't acceptable. The main point we want to change was work harder. We did that tonight obviously.''

The Stars had a five-game winning streak snapped that had included a sweep of four road games.

''It's a big statement and it's for us only,'' Montoya said. ''Let's stop being that team that, you know, are we going to show up tonight? It's on us. We've got great leadership and the youth is great too, so every single night there's no reason we can't bring it.''

Florida's 19-year-old Aaron Ekblad and veteran Dave Bolland each scored their first goal this season in the second period.

After Ekblad's goal at 1:22, assisted by Bjugstad, Dallas coach Lindy Ruff replaced starting goalie Kari Lehtonen with Antti Niemi.
