The Detroit Red Wings beat the Florida Panthers 5-3 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, on Monday, November 2, 2026. Two goals in 45 seconds early in the third period broke a 2-2 tie and gave Detroit a lead it never gave back.

Justin Faulk scored on the power play at 2:08 of the third period, a one timer from Andrew Copp. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard scored 45 seconds later at 2:53 off a feed from Lucas Raymond to make it 4-2. Florida had given up nothing like that run all night, and the game turned in that one short stretch.

How the tie was built

Carter Mazur opened the scoring at 5:26 of the first period with a wrist shot from the left circle past Jacob Markstrom. Detroit Hockey Insider reported it was Mazur's first career NHL goal.

Sam Reinhart tied the game 1-1 at 14:19 of the first period. Alex DeBrincat put Detroit ahead 2-1 at 1:26 of the second period on a 3-on-1 feed from Viktor Arvidsson. Aaron Ekblad tied it 2-2 at 15:25 of the second period with a shorthanded goal. Florida's scorers on the night were Reinhart, Ekblad and Sam Bennett, and the Panthers never led in the game.

Reinhart's goal was his 197th since joining the Panthers, one behind Jonathan Huberdeau for second most in team history. Sasha Barkov leads that list with 286, according to Florida Hockey Now game notes citing NHL.com.

Florida pushes late, Detroit closes it

Bennett cut the lead to 4-3 at 16:40 of the third period, set up by Matthew Tkachuk, with goalie Jacob Markstrom pulled for an extra skater. Florida kept pressing for the tie, but Emmitt Finnie scored into the empty net at 19:57 for the 5-3 final.

Detroit goalie Daniil Tarasov, who spent last season with Florida, made 23 saves and was named the game's first star by Florida Hockey Now. Markstrom made 24 saves in his first start in over two weeks for Florida.

What it means

Detroit has won three of its past four games. Florida failed in its bid for a first four game winning streak of the season and was playing its first game in its new Hometown Remix uniforms. Florida is home again on Wednesday, November 4, against the Chicago Blackhawks.
