The Florida Panthers mounted their biggest comeback of the season, scoring four unanswered goals after trailing the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 to win 5-4 on November 12 in Sunrise, Florida. Anton Lundell sealed the victory with his second goal of the night, with 2:40 remaining.

Sam Reinhart opened the scoring 3:52 into the game, reaching 200 goals with Florida. Detroit then scored four straight. Andreas Englund, Marco Kasper, Lucas Raymond and J.T. Compher found the net for the Red Wings, who were ahead 4-1 with under half a minute remaining in period two.

Gustav Forsling cut the deficit to two with 18 seconds remaining in the second. Lundell scored 2:32 into the third, and Lars Eller tied the game with 3:31 left. Lundell put Florida ahead less than a minute later. Carter Verhaeghe had three assists, while Detroit’s Moritz Seider had two.
