Sunrise, Fla. — So often recently Jeff Blashill has talked about the need for the Red Wings to not get down after allowing a goal.
But they keep doing it, allowing goals in bunches as they did Saturday in a 5-4 loss to Florida.
Panthers forwards Mike Hoffman and Dominic Toninato scored nine seconds apart early in the second period, erasing a 3-2 Wings lead and helping send Detroit to its fifth consecutive loss — and 17th in 19 games (2-15-2).
Hoffman buried a rebound at 6 minutes, 39 seconds in close, after goaltender Jimmy Howard made the initial stop on Brian Boyle.
