Larkin’s big night can’t carry Red Wings

Sunrise, Fla. — Dylan Larkin did all he could but it still wasn’t enough.

Larkin had an electrifying game but the Florida Panthers carried a quick three-goal first-period spurt Thursday into a 6-3 victory.

Larkin scored two goals and was easily the most exciting player on the ice.

But the remarkable rookie didn’t get enough support — Mike Green’s third-period power-play goal was the lone other goal — as the Red Wings lost their second consecutive game on a back-to-back through the state of Florida.

Goaltender Jimmy Howard stopped 27 shots while seeing his winless streak reach seven games.
