TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Pavel Bure and Rob Niedermayer each had a goal and an assist, and Mikhail Shtalenkov made 24 saves Saturday night as the Florida Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-2.

	Florida's Todd Simpson looks for someplace to put the puck under pressure from Vincent Lecavalier.

The Panthers, winners of six of seven, increased their Southeast Division lead to 16 points -- the biggest gap in any division.

Tampa Bay has one win in its last 13 games and just 32 points, compared to Florida which has 58 points.

The Panthers beat the Lightning for the sixth straight time -- the third time in 20 days -- and lead the Florida rivalry 21-6-6.

Florida has outscored Tampa Bay 18-8 in their last three meetings.

Mark Parrish, Ryan Johnson and Bret Hedican also scored for the Panthers and Bure extended his scoring streak to six games.

Bure, second in the league with 31 goals, has scored 10 times and added seven assists in his last seven games. He has 41 points in his last 21 games, 24 goals and 17 assists.

Frederik Modin broke up the shutout with a third period power-play goal at 4:06. Mike Sillinger scored his 14th on a breakaway with 2:05 left.

Hedican scored on Florida's second shot of the game, a soft slap shot from the left point that beat goalie Rich Parent low stick side at 2:13.

Parent, acquired from St. Louis on Thursday for Stephane Richer, made his first start for Tampa Bay and 12th of his career.

Parent, 26, had been scheduled to start Monday's IHL All-Star game but was called up to fill in for regular goalie Dan Cloutier.

Cloutier was suspended four games for kicking Islanders forward Tim Connolly in Tampa Bay's victory Thursday night.
