DALLAS, March 29 (UPI) -- Cory Stillman led the Florida Panthers to a 6-3 win over the Dallas Stars Saturday with a goal and two assists.

Stillman's 16th goal this season tied the game 1-1 at 8:04 of the second period and he assisted on goals by Nathan Horton, also in the second, and Jay Bouwmeester (power play) in the third.

Bouwmeester was one of four Florida players with a goal and an assist.

Kamil Kreps also scored once, and Craig Anderson stopped 32-of-35 shots for the Panthers, who have won two in a row after losing seven of eight. They moved within one point of the eighth Eastern Conference playoff seed by rising to 85 points.

Montreal stayed at 86 after losing to Buffalo 4-3 in a shootout earlier Saturday.

Dallas' Mike Ribeiro, Matt Niskanen and Chris Conner all scored once. Marty Turco was beaten five times on 32 shots in the reeling Stars' sixth straight loss.
