Detroit − The Red Wings did a better job of keeping pucks out of their net Friday, but still aren't putting enough of them into the net on the other side.
The Wings didn't fall behind early, that was an improvement, and only allowed three goals but it was enough to lose to the Florida Panthers 3-2.
Aaron Ekblad's power-play goal in the second period broke a 1-1 tie, then added another power play tally in the third period to give the Panthers some cushion.
Robby Fabbri, in only his second game since returning from major knee surgery, scored his first goal at 16:17 of the third period, cutting the lead to 3-2.
