The Detroit Red Wings visit the Florida Panthers on Thursday, Nov. 12, at Amerant Bank Arena, looking to end a four-game losing streak against the last team they beat. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with radio on 97.1 FM. It is the third stop on Detroit’s four-game road trip.

Where things stand

Detroit is 7-9-3 after a 3-2 loss in St. Louis on Tuesday. The Red Wings have scored five goals across the four-game skid, which also includes losses to Tampa Bay, Vegas, and Colorado. Their most recent win came in this building on Nov. 2, a 5-3 victory in which Daniil Tarasov was in goal.

Florida is 10-7-2 and coming off a 4-1 win at Columbus on Tuesday that ended a road trip. Before that, the Panthers dropped games at Washington and Boston. Jacob Markstrom started in Columbus and in the Nov. 2 meeting with Detroit.

Lineup and injuries

John Gibson returned to the Red Wings’ net Tuesday after missing two games with a lower-body injury and made 30 saves. Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton also came back from injuries in that game. Captain Dylan Larkin remains out of the lineup while he waits for a trade. Neither team had announced a starting goalie as of Thursday morning.

Florida’s injury report lists forwards Aleksander Barkov, Brad Marchand, Jonah Gadjovich, and Anton Lundell. Barkov and Marchand took part in a Panthers morning skate on Tuesday, a step toward returning, but the team has not said either will play Thursday.

What to watch

Scoring is the issue for Detroit, which has not scored more than two goals in a game since the win in Florida. Andrew Copp and Moritz Seider scored in St. Louis. Coach Todd McLellan said after Tuesday’s loss that falling behind 3-1 made the comeback “pretty tough.” The Red Wings close the road trip Saturday, Nov. 14, against Tampa Bay.
