Buffalo, NY (AHN) - The 'middling' Florida Panthers may have found a win to build on Wednesday, toppling the Buffalo Sabres 6-2.

The visitors poured it on with four goals in the final period to stun the Northeast Division leaders at HSBC Arena.

Four different Panthers scored in the final stanza: Cory Stillman, Michael Frolik, Rostislav Olesz and Dominic Moore as Florida moved within a game of .500 at 8-9-2.

Buffalo led just once, on Drew Stafford's sixth goal of the season with 5:37 left in the opening period.

The Sabres fell to 12-5-1 and apparently are not ready to run away with their division just yer.

Michael Frolik knotted it up at 1-1 with 1:39 left in the first period with his fifth tally.

Tomas Vokoun picked up the win in goal, turning aside 26 of 28 shots.
