Florida defeated Dallas 6-4 during Friday's game at Nokia Arena in Tampere

Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues speaks after Florida's 6-4 win over Dallas in Finland on 11-1.

The Florida Panthers will be looking for the Finland sweep when they face the Dallas Stars on Saturday in Tampere.

Led by a pair of their Finnish forwards, Florida defeated the Stars 6-4 on Friday at Nokia Arena.

Panthers captain Sasha Barkov led the way with a goal and three assists while Anton Lundell also scored for the Cats, who have now won six consecutive road games – technically they were the visiting team on Friday – and four straight overall.

Sergei Bobrovsky picked up the win between the pipes for Florida on Friday, but with the games coming on consecutive days, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Spencer Knight get the nod on Saturday.

Knight has started three games so far this season, holding a 2-1-0 record to go with a 3.03 goals against average and .898 save percentage.

Here are the Panthers projected lines and pairings for Saturday’s scrum with Dallas in Tampere:

Evan Rodrigues – Sasha Barkov – Sam Reinhart

Carter Verhaeghe – Sam Bennett – Matthew Tkachuk

Eetu Luostarinen – Anton Lundell – Jesper Boqvist

A.J. Greer – Tomas Nosek – Mackie Samoskevich

Gus Forsling – Aaron Ekblad

Niko Mikkola – Dmitry Kulikov

Nate Schmidt – Uvis Balinskis
