The Detroit Red Wings opened their four-game road trip with a 5-2 win over the defending Stanley Cup champs, thanks to three power play goals Thursday.

A nice shoulder fake by Carter Verhaeghe in the offensive zone led to a quick shot on Cam Talbot. The rebound bounced toward Anton Lundell at the side of the crease, and he poked the puck into a yawning net to tie the game at one.

With the Panthers getting into penalty trouble in the second period, the Red Wings made them pay a second time when Dylan Larkin went to the crease and re-directed a tape-to-tape centering feed from Patrick Kane through traffic into the cage to make it 2-1 at 7:52.

Jonatan Berggren, Dylan Larkin and Patrick Kane had power-play goals, but it was Marco Kasper's long range shot 1 minute, 57 seconds after Kane scored, at 15:41 of the second period, that gave the Wings a 4-2 lead and moved Florida to pull goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky (11 saves on 15 shots) with Spencer Knight.
