Sunrise, Fla. — No making history of the bad kind for these Red Wings.
The seven-game losing streak to begin the regular season is over, thanks to a 4-3, overtime victory over Florida on Saturday night.
Gustav Nyquist scored at 3 minutes, 44 seconds of overtime on a breakaway, after both teams traded golden scoring opportunities in overtime.
Florida' s Mike Hoffman tied it at 3 at 18:44 of the third period with a fluttering shot from the dot that handcuffed goaltender Jimmy Howard.
Three uninterrupted goals in the second period erased a 2-0 Panthers lead, then outstanding penalty killing and the goaltending of Howard in the final two periods guided the Wings into the win column.
