Picking right up where they left off, Detroit won 5-4 down in Florida for their sixth in a row.
Despite trailing 2-1 after one period, we rallied for four straight second period goals to re-take control of the game. Stephen Weiss scored and assisted against his old team.
The Panthers made it 5-4 midway through the third, but Petr Mrazek helped us hold on all the way through, including a last-minute power play. The Red Wings took a penalty with 2:32 to go, but it took a minute for their opponent to even take a shot. Furthermore, they failed to pull their goalie and never scored. Mrazek faced 41 shots on the night.
