"After a scoreless first period, Mason Appleton opened the scoring 2:09 into the second. Jeff Petry lost his footing, and possession of the puck, to Dylan Larkin, who fed Appleton for a successful shot along the ice. The Red Wings would dent Florida's penalty kill for the first time this season to go up by two at the 9:36 mark."
"The Panthers had 25:55 of game time left to come up with the equalizer, but they just couldn't do it. They only tested Talbot eight times after Marchand's tally, and the Red Wings finished the contest with 22 blocked shots. As was the case in Philadelphia, the Cats gave up a pair of empty-netters late to turn a one-goal game into a three-goal margin."
Mason Appleton opened scoring early in the second after Jeff Petry lost his footing and Dylan Larkin fed him. Patrick Kane scored a power-play wrister to make it 2-0 while Aaron Ekblad and Niko Mikkola were serving penalties. Brad Marchand cut the deficit after Anton Lundell won a Detroit-end faceoff and Marchand slipped a goal under Cam Talbot. Florida managed only 21 shots and tested Talbot eight times after Marchand's goal. Detroit finished with 22 blocked shots and added two late empty-net goals. The Panthers' offense has struggled without Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk.
