It was 4-0 before Lucas Raymond for the Red Wings on the scoreboard at 14:12 of the second by blasting in a one-timer on a pass from Patrick Kane on the power play. It was his 19th goal. The Red Wings are 18 for 40 on the power play in the past 11 games. But it was too much of an uphill climb at that point.

The Red Wings (21-19-4) bounced back strong from Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to San Jose, which snapped their seven-game winning streak, in the first stop of a challenging four-game trip. Florida (26-17-3) was 12-0-1 in its past 13 games against the Red Wings.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Cam Talbot made 41 saves, including 23 in the third period, and the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Florida Panthers 5-2 at Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday. Dylan Larkin had two goals and an assist for the Red Wings (21-19-4), who scored three power-play goals and are 8-1-0 in their past nine games.

The Detroit Red Wings opened their four-game road trip with a 5-2 win over the defending Stanley Cup champs, thanks to three power play goals Thursday.

The Red Wings' decision to fire Derek Lalonde and replace him with Todd McLellan has proven to be the best move the organization could've made.

Talbot was never in much danger of losing Sunday, as the Red Wings scored 3:22 into the game and led 6-1 after the second period. The veteran netminder lost his last four games in December, but he's opened the new calendar year with a 4-0-0 record while turning aside 85 of 96 shots in that span.

Whether or not that is the case, that improvement under McLellan has played a key role in Detroit's five-game winning streak, and now, with Lyon set to spend some time on the shelf injured, the Red Wings will need to keep it up without the man responsible for most of the gains.
