NHL: Florida 6, Pittsburgh 1

Published: Jan. 3, 2009 at 8:09 PM

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Nathan Horton scored his ninth and 10th goals this season Saturday to lead the Florida Panthers' surprisingly easy 6-1 rout of Pittsburgh.

Florida led, 2-0, after the first period on goals by Ville Peltonen and Horton, and never trailed after that.

Bryan McCabe had a power-play goal and one assist. Richard Zednik (power play) and Michael Frolik also scored, while Craig Anderson was credited with 29 saves on 30 shots for the Panthers -- who snapped a four-game losing streak and bagged their first win in Pittsburgh since Dec. 5, 2006.

Pittsburgh's goal was scored by Ruslan Fedotenko at 1:37 of the second period.

Marc-Andre Fleury and Dany Sabourin gave up a combined six goals on 30 shots in the Penguins' fourth loss in a row and their worst this season on home ice. Each goalie allowed three goals.

On the power play, Florida went 2-for-7, and Pittsburgh went 0-for-3.
