The Detroit Red Wings will welcome the Florida Panthers to Little Caesars Arena for an NHL game on Monday. The Detroit Red Wings lost 1-5 in their last game over the Avalanche. Pius Suter pulled Detroit into a 1-all tie in the first period and Magnus Hellberg finished with two saves, filling in for Husso for the last 14-plus minutes. Detroit has lost nine of its last 11 games, fading from contention for a wild card and an opportunity to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
The Red Wings went 0 for 2 with an extra skater in the first period and had a short-handed chance to score late in the second, but Georgiev stopped Adam Erne’s shot. “We didn’t capitalize on our power-play chances,” Detroit captain Dylan Larkin said. “When we had a power play with it 3-1, we give up a shorty and another goal right after that. That’s just a lapse and we left Huss out to dry.”
Detroit’s 6-foot-6, 209-pound defenseman Simon Edvinsson, the No. 6 pick overall in 2021, made his NHL debut. “I was nervous at the beginning of course,” the 20-year-old Swede said. “It was awesome to play here in front of the fans, and I felt comfortable with the pace. Of course there are things I need to do better in the system, but it felt better in the third and I need to build on that.”
The Florida Panthers on the other hand won 4-2 against the Devils in their last game. Sam Reinhart scored two of Florida’s four third-period goals and the Panthers rallied to beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2 on Saturday night. Aleksander Barkov had a goal and an assist to tie former teammate Jonathan Huberdeau for the franchise career points lead with 613.
Matthew Tkachuk also scored and Sergei Bobrovsky made 33 saves. The Panthers kept pace in the Eastern Conference wild-card race, extending their points streak to six at 5-0-1. “I liked our bounce-back in the third,” Reinhart said. “We started moving our feet a little, started creating some chances and we capitalized. It was a back-and-forth night and they hung on. … This is the most fun time to play. You could sense the atmosphere from the start. Fans know the position we are in. We’re enjoying the battle.”
