Detroit Red Wings beat struggling Florida Panthers 2-1, keeping fading playoff hopes alive
Alex DeBrincat and J.T. Compher scored in the second period and Cam Talbot finished with 32 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings keep their fading playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 win over the Florida Panthers on Sunday night. The Panthers put their goaltender on the bench to add an extra skater and Anton Lundell scored with 39.9 seconds to pull them within a goal. Detroit has just six games remaining in the regular season to rally into a wild card to end a nine-year postseason drought. The defending champion and short-handed Panthers have lost five straight for the first time since 2017. Following a sluggish first period, DeBrincat scored on a power play for his 35th goal of the season and Compher put Detroit up 2-0 midway through the period. Vitek Vanecek stopped 22 saves and gave Sergei Bobrovsky the night off one day after he made 19 saves in a 3-0 loss at Ottawa. The Panthers had a flurry of shots late, but couldn't put the puck past Talbot to tie the game. Panthers: After clinching a spot in the postseason on Saturday, the team hopes star forward Matthew Tkachuk has enough time to get healthy and play for the first time since he was injured playing for the United States at the 4 Nations on Feb. 15 Red Wings: A four-game point streak with three wins has allowed the franchise to preserve its slim playoff chances. DeBrincat missed an open net early in the second period and made the most of another chance on the same shift to score. Talbot stopped 10 shots in the opening period, keeping Florida scoreless before the pivotal second period. Florida hosts Toronto on Tuesday and the Red Wings play at Montreal the same night when they will have a chance to close in on the second team in the Eastern Conference wild-card race.

Wings overcome early goalie injury, roll past Utah
March 25 - Despite losing their starting goaltender less than two minutes into the game, the Detroit Red Wings defeated the host Utah Hockey Club 5-1 on Monday night. Alex DeBrincat had a goal and an assist and Elmer Soderblom, Marco Kasper, Austin Watson and Tyler Motte also scored for the Red Wings (33-31-6, 72 points), who won for just the third time in 12 games. Detroit, which got two assists from Simon Edvinsson, is three points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Petr Mrazek made a save on Dylan Guenther 1:38 into the game, was injured and went to the locker room. That was the only shot Mrazek faced. He was replaced by Alex Lyon, who stopped 16 shots. Guenther got the goal for the Utah Hockey Club (32-28-11, 75 points), who had won three of their last four and are six points out of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Karel Vejmelka made nine saves. Kasper was credited with the marker that gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead 1:34 into the second period. His attempted pass from along the goal line went in off the leg of Utah's Lawson Crouse. DeBrincat got an assist for his 500th career point. Watson gave Detroit a two-goal lead 9:51 into the third period when his mid-air tip of a shot deflected in a high arch and then down over the shoulder of Vejmelka and into the net. It was Watson's first goal since Dec. 31, 2023. DeBrincat added an empty-net goal, his team-leading 33rd of the season, with 2:54 left and Motte scored with 1:28 remaining. The game was tied 1-1 after the first. Guenther opened the scoring with a power-play goal 3:46 into the game on a one-time shot from the inside part of the left circle. It was his team-leading 26th of the season. But Soderblom tied it 1:22 later. In his return after missing a game with a lower-body injury, Soderblom capitalized on a one-timer from the inside edge of the right circle on a 2-on-1 rush off a pass from Vladimir Tarasenko.
