The Cats made their first appearance on an ESPN game broadcast this season. It was the Panthers first time on their primary channel since the early 2000s.
After a scoreless first period, Florida(54-15-6) took a 1-0 lead at the 5:02 mark of the second. Brandon Montour angled a pass at the red line to Aleksander Barkov. He carried it into the offensive zone and made a cross-ice pass from the left wing. Anthony Duclair blasted a one-time slap shot from the right circle by Alex Nedeljkovic for his 31st goal of the season.
The Panthers extended it to 2-0 at 6:32. Petteri Lindbohm backhanded a lead pass from his own zone. Mason Marchment centered the puck from the right wing with a backhand pass and Sam Reinhart fired a forehand shot from the slot area for his 28th goal this season.
It became 3-0 for the Cats with 5:37 remaining in the frame. Reinhart stole the puck and fed it to the middle. Anton Lundell scored his 17th goal of the campaign from the low slot.
Florida made it 4-0 just 28 seconds later. Patric Hornqvist forwarded the puck through the neutral zone. Eetu Luostarinen flipped a backhand pass from the right wing and Maxim Mamin placed in a shot from close range for his seventh goal of the year.
Detroit(29-37-10) surrendered a shorthanded goal at 5:04 of the third period and trailed 5-0. Barkov skated with the puck from the red line to the top of the crease. He made a drop pass and Lundell scored on a backhand shot for his second tally of the contest.
The Red Wings broke the shutout and got on the scoreboard with 7:56 to go. Pius Suter was able to beat Spencer Knight on a shot.
The Panthers reclaimed a five-goal margin with 6:46 left in the third. Gustav Forsling scored his ninth goal this season and his third goal in the last two contests.
