SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Mike Hoffman and Evgenii Dadonov scored, Aaron Ekblad had two assists and the slumping Florida Panthers beat the San Jose Sharks 5-3 Monday.

Colton Sceviour, Anton Stralman and Vincent Trocheck also scored for Florida, which had lost six of seven. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 29 shots, and the Panthers moved within two points of idle Toronto for third place in the Atlantic Division.

“We really kept our composure tonight and that really helped,” Ekblad said. “Our confidence was high all night and that was a good sign that we would hold on.
