Florida at Detroit

Florida plays its second game under general manager and interim coach Tom Row. The Panthers lost 2-1 in a shootout in Chicago Tuesday in Rowe's debut as the team's coach.

Detroit has had injury problems in net along with a defense that is #20 in penalty killing, #15 in goals allowed, and an offense than is #23 in goals scored. The Red Wings are 3-7 against the Eastern Conference and have lost seven of their last nine at home. Florida has posted a pair of three-goal wins over the Red Wings this season, including a 5-2 victory at Detroit in October, and the road team is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings. Back Florida.
