Panthers erase 4-1 deficit, top Red Wingst 5-4 behind 2 goals from Lundell
(AP) — Anton Lundell scored his second goal of the night with 2:40 left to cap a rally from three goals down, and the Florida Panthers pulled off their biggest comeback of the season to beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on Thursday night.
Key points
- The Panthers entered Thursday as the only team in the NHL without a point against a divisional opponent yet this season.
- Lars Eller, Gustav Forsling and Sam Reinhart also scored for the Panthers, and Carter Verhaeghe had three assists.
- Eller tied it with 3:31 remaining and then Lundell got the winner less than a minute later.
Forsling scored with 18 seconds left in the second to get Florida within two, and Lundell connected 2:32 into the third to make it 4-3.
Reinhart’s goal was 3:52 into the game — his 200th with the Panthers — and gave Florida a 1-0 lead, but Detroit scored the next four.
Additional details
- Moritz Seider had two assists, but the Red Wings lost their fifth straight.
- Kasper’s goal just past the midpoint of the second period pushed the Detroit lead to 4-1, prompting some boos from an impatient home crowd.
- Up next Red Wings: At Tampa Bay on Saturday night.
- Andreas Englund got his first goal in more than two years, Marco Kasper also had his first of the season, and Lucas Raymond and J.T.
- It was only the third instance of a 4-0 run in a game by Detroit this season, and it still wasn't enough.
