Naslund also had assists on power-play tallies by Todd Bertuzzi in the second period and defenseman Sami Salo 2:47 into the third.

Vancouver scored three power-play goals for the third time during the NHL's longest winning streak of the season. The St. Louis Blues had a nine-game run from Oct. 15-Nov. 5.

Brendan Morrison and Matt Cooke staked Vancouver to a 2-0 lead before Jaroslav Bednar flipped in a rebound for his first goal as a Panther.

Marcus Nilson had the other goal for Florida, which had a four-game unbeaten streak snapped but has just one win in its last 10 games (1-2-5-2).
