Tampa, Fla. -- Stephen Weiss found the net in the fourth round of a shootout Saturday, completing the Florida Panthers' 4-3 comeback win over Tampa Bay.

Panthers snapped a three-game losing streak after rebounding from a 2-0 deficit midway through the game. Radek Dvorak, Dmitry Kulikov and Shawn Matthias scored three straight goals to give Florida a 3-2 lead 8:31 into the final period.

But Sean Bergenheim tied the score at 3-3 with less than 6 minutes left to force a scoreless overtime and then the shootout.

Tomas Vokoun allowed three goals on 37 shots but came up big in the shootout, stopping Martin St. Louis's bid to extend the contest with a tough wrist shot.

Glendale, Ariz. -- Dan Ellis turned in his first shutout of the season Saturday, stopping 23 shots in the Tampa Bay Lightning's 3-0 win over Phoenix.

Ellis's busiest period was the third, during which he turned aside all 10 Phoenix shots he faced and helped Tampa Bay win the first contest of a four-game road trip.

The Lightning got goals from Mattias Ritola, Adam Hall and Steven Stamkos.

Ritola's first career goal on a second-period wrist shot turned out to be all the offense the Lightning would need.

Ilya Bryzgalov surrendered all three goals on 23 shots for the Coyotes.
