Red Wings Look to End Four-Game Slide Against Panthers

The Red Wings will make one lineup change for the matchup, with Carter Mazur replacing Michael Rasmussen, who is scratched. Detroit is coming off a 3-2 loss to St. Louis on November 10, in which it took a first-period lead before giving up two goals early in the second.

Detroit has a 7-9-3 record, while Florida stands at 10-7-2. The Panthers have won two of their past four games, including a 4-1 victory over Columbus on November 10. Matthew Tkachuk leads Florida with 27 points, including four goals and 23 assists.

Defenseman Moritz Seider said Detroit sees an opportunity to respond after beating Florida 5-3 on November 2. He said the team can still finish its road trip with an even record and called that the goal.

Seider also stressed that Detroit needs to stick to its game plan against a Florida team he described as aggressive, quick in transition and prone to pinching with its defensemen. The Red Wings face a 7:30 p.m. Eastern puck drop in Florida.
