Scoring goals has been a frequent Red Wings problem, and Tuesday in Florida it resurfaced.
The Wings didn’t get enough going offensively against the Panthers took advantage with a 2-1 victory, salvaging a split in the two-game series.
Filip Zadina scored his first goal of the season for the Wings’ lone goal.
The Wings (3-9-2) head to Nashville for two games to complete this six-game, longest road trip of the season.
Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has struggled this season, didn’t look entirely confident against the Wings.
The Wings had 32 shots on goal, but probably would have enjoyed testing Bobrovsky with some more high-quality opportunities.
