A terrible start Tuesday dearly hurt the Red Wings.
Harkening back to some of the recent bad starts, the Wings allowed three goals in the 7 minutes 35 seconds — including the first one 17 seconds into the game — and it proved to be too much to overcome, losing to Florida 4-1
Filip Zadina (power play) cut the Florida lead to 3-1 in the second period, but the Panthers responded to restore the three-goal lead.
Goaltender Calvin Pickard, coming off two impressive victories last weekend against Columbus, wasn’t able to carry over the good fortune.
