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.

Knight stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Sergei Bobrovsky in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

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.

With the Panthers getting into penalty trouble in the second period, the Red Wings made them pay a second time when Dylan Larkin went to the crease and re-directed a tape-to-tape centering feed from Patrick Kane through traffic into the cage to make it 2-1 at 7:52.

Lucas Raymond leads Detroit in scoring with 47 points (18 goals, 29 assists), while Dylan Larkin sits in second with 38 points (18 goals, 20 assists). In addition to ranking third on the team in points (36), Alex DeBrincat paces the team with 19 goals, including eight on the power play.

Larkin, Jonatan Berggren and Patrick Kane had power-play goals for Detroit, which also got a goal from Marco Kasper. Cam Talbot stopped 40 shots for the Red Wings, who have won eight of their last nine games.
