TAMPA, Fla. -- High-scoring Steven Stamkos is not alone when it comes to Tampa Bays offensive attack. Stamkos scored his fourth goal of the season and five Lightning players had goals in Tampa Bays 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. "Were doing good things," Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. "Were not good, yet." Tampa Bay, which has won five of six to start the year, also got goals from Cory Conacher, Tom Pyatt, Dana Tyrell and Vincent Lecavalier. Stamkos, who led the NHL with 60 goals last season, has 11 points during a season-opening six-game point streak this year. Peter Mueller and Tomas Fleischmann scored for the Panthers, who have lost five in a row after a season-opening win over Carolina. Florida has been outscored 23-5 during its skid. "I think our record is fairly accurate of our play the last four games," coach Kevin Dineen said. "I hate to say we deserve to be where we are right now. ... Its a matter of us deciding how were going to deal with it, and we will." Stamkos put the Lightning up 1-0 on a power-play goal at 11:09 of the first. The man advantage came after Panthers defenceman Keaton Ellerby received two minor penalties, a fighting major and 10-minute misconduct following a fight with Tampa Bay right wing B.J. Crombeen, who had tripped Florida defenceman Ed Jovanovski with his leg. Crombeen was given one minor penalty and a fighting major. "Ive been around long enough, its something that I take pride in is playing honest," Crombeen said, explaining that the trip was unintentional. "I would, obviously, never do that to someone." The Panthers tied it just 15 seconds after Stamkos goal when Mueller scored after Lightning goalie Anders Lindback misplayed the puck behind his net. Tampa Bay went up 2-1 when Conacher, while being held from behind by Florida defenceman Mike Weaver, skated down the slot and beat goalie Jose Theodore with 7:11 left in the first. Second-period goals by Pyatt and Tyrell extended the Lightnings lead to 4-1. Tyrell stopped a personal 38-game goal drought. "I dont think weve really played a good game yet," Florida defenceman Filip Kuba said. "Its obviously embarrassing when you lose five straight, but its not the right time to put our heads down and feel sorry for ourselves. Weve got another game coming, and weve got 40-something more left. Weve got to quickly figure out what weve got to do to get ready and play better." After Lecavalier had a power-play goal 14:13 into the third, Fleischmann scored on a short-handed breakaway 18 seconds later. The Lightning have outscored their opposition 14-2 during the third period this season. "Obviously, right now were not getting any bounces, but we dont deserve them," Panthers right wing Tomas Kopecky said. "We are not working hard. We are not competing hard enough, and all the 50-50 pucks, the other team is winning and weve got to change it. And its got to change right now. Its too late right now, actually, so everybody here is fed up." Tampa Bays Martin St. Louis had an assist. The right wing has nine assists and 12 points overall. NOTES: Stamkos has a six-game goal streak against the Panthers. ... Florida LW Kris Versteeg (groin) played for first time this season. ... Conacher, in his rookie season, has at least one point in five of six games this year. ... The Panthers recalled C Drew Shore from San Antonio of the AHL.

Mack, fighting outside the United States for the first time, keeled over after being struck with a right-left combination into his ribs. He was counted out with 28 seconds remaining in the round. "When I am in there on fire like I was tonight, I think I am unbeatable, I really do," said the 35-year-old Froch, one of Britains top boxers. "I was a bit cautious early on but then I found my range." Cheered on by a vocal home crowd in Nottingham, central England, Froch always looked like having too much for Mack, who was sent to the canvas in the first round after being struck with a left hook and then a straight right.dddddddddddd Mack survived the rest of the round but returned to his corner breathing heavily. Froch bided his time before putting Mack out of his misery to claim a 30th win in 32 fights. He is set for a rematch next with Canadas Lucien Bute, who he beat in May to regain the title for the second time. "I think I am a level above Mack," Froch said, "but anyone can give you a fight if you are not on your A game." Mack, who dropped down from light-heavyweight for the bout, has lost five of his 38 fights. ' ' '
