Florida at Detroit

Detroit has won the last two meetings, including a 3-2 shootout in October, and the Panthers are playing without starting goalie Roberto Luongo, who is out until January with a lower body injury. James Reimer is 5-7-3 with a 3.81 goals-against average and has just an .888 save percentage for the Panthers, and he has allowed nine goals his last two starts against Winnipeg and lowly Colorado. Jimmy Howard has a 2.95 GAA for Detroit, which is looking to bounce back from a loss to St. Louis after snapping a losing streak with a win over Winnipeg. Florida is 7-17 its last 24 road games and 2-8 when its opponent gives up at least five goals its previous game. Also, the Panthers are 17-35 their last 52 games against Eastern Conference teams and 7-19 with one day of rest. Play the Red Wings.
