The Florida Panthers scored the final four goals of the night and beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on Thursday at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla. Detroit led 4-1 with less than 30 seconds left in the second period before Anton Lundell’s second goal of the game, with 2:40 left in regulation, finished the comeback. The loss is Detroit’s fifth in a row and drops the Red Wings to 7-10-3; they have lost six of their last seven games, and their only win in that stretch came in Sunrise on Nov. 2.

How it happened

Sam Reinhart opened the scoring for Florida at 3:52 of the first period. Detroit answered 15 seconds later when Carter Mazur, back in the lineup in place of Michael Rasmussen, sprang J.T. Compher up the middle, and Compher beat Akira Schmid with a forehand-to-backhand move for his third goal of the season.

Andreas Englund put the Red Wings ahead at 13:14 of the first when his shot from the high slot deflected off Seth Jones and over Schmid. It was Englund’s first goal as a Red Wing and his first in more than two years. Jones was involved again 17 seconds into the second period, when Lucas Raymond’s shot from the point struck him in front and went in for Raymond’s seventh goal. Marco Kasper then tipped William Wallinder’s point shot past Schmid at 12:08 of the second for his first goal of the season and a 4-1 lead.

Florida’s comeback started with 17.8 seconds left in the second period, when Gustav Forsling scored through a screen on John Gibson. Lundell pounced on a loose puck at the post 2:32 into the third to make it 4-3, and Lars Eller tied the game at 16:29 after Niko Mikkola pinched down the wall and found him in front. Lundell’s winner came at 17:20.

Notes

  • Moritz Seider had two assists for Detroit.
  • Carter Verhaeghe had three assists for Florida, and Schmid made 24 saves.
  • Reinhart’s goal was his 11th of the season and his 200th with the Panthers.
  • Todd McLellan said at the morning skate that Mazur would replace Rasmussen, the only change from Tuesday’s lineup in St. Louis. Kasper and Mason Appleton returned from early-season injuries in that game.

Thursday’s game was the third stop on Detroit’s four-game road trip, which wraps up with one more game before the Red Wings return home.
