'We overcomplicated it': Red Wings' lackluster power play leads to 4-1 loss to Panthers

Detroit — Two tough opponents on consecutive nights and the Red Wings certainly didn't embarrass themselves.

But they still couldn't earn victories.

Twenty-four hours after losing to Pittsburgh in overtime, the Red Wings dropped a 4-1 decision Saturday against Florida in a rare back-to-back set at Little Caesars Arena.

The difference in this game? The Red Wings were 0-for-7 on the power play, while Florida was able to convert on its sixth attempt, Aleksander Barkov's 15th goal, at 13 minutes, 5 seconds of the third period, giving the Panthers a 3-1 lead.
