Pavel Datsyuk (7, 8) scored a pair of goals, Petr Mrazek stopped 23 Panthers' shots, and Justin Abdelkader leveled Aleksander Barkov in a 3-0 shutout of the Florida Panthers in Detroit on Monday night.
Barkov played just under nine minutes before getting tattooed by Abdelkader in the second period. Eventually, Derek MacKenzie stepped up to drop the gloves with the offender, but much too late to light much of a fire under the Panthers. Barkov did not return.
Tomas Tatar (16) opened the scoring at the 4:19 mark in the final period.
