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.

Cam Talbot made 41 saves and the Detroit Red Wings scored three power-play goals in a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night in Sunrise, Fla.

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.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Dylan Larkin scored two goals and the surging Detroit Red Wings beat the Florida Panthers 5-2 on Thursday night. Larkin, Jonatan Berggren and Patrick Kane had power-play goals for Detroit, which also got a goal from Marco Kasper. Cam Talbot stopped 40 shots for the Red Wings, who have won eight of their last nine games.

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.

Detroit scored four goals — including three times on the power play — before Bobrovsky was pulled late in the second period of the Panthers’ 5-2 loss to the Red Wings on Thursday to begin a quick two-game homestand at Amerant Bank Arena.
