The Detroit Red Wings couldn't turn an early lead into momentum, and once again their special teams were a letdown.
The Florida Panthers converted on two power plays Friday at Little Caesars Arena, handing the Wings a second straight loss at home, 3-2.
Jonatan Berggren scored a minute into the game, but the Panthers, a projected playoff team trying to work its way into the postseason picture, were quick to answer and used a power play to take the lead.
Jake Walman had a shot go off a post in the first minute of the third period, and Dylan Larkin's golden opportunity from just outside the crease was denied by Sergei Bobrovsky's glove.
