Ducks coach Greg Cronin liked how his team put 37 shots on goal and won 55.2 percent of the faceoffs. The Ducks also outhit Tampa Bay, 24-12, but were let down by their special teams as the Lightning scored the game's only two power-play goals.

“I was really happy with that game tonight, I don’t know if you could tell,” said the Florida Panthers head coach, several minutes into a postgame press conference after a 2-1 shootout win over the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center on Tuesday night. As he should have been.

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.

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.

The Red Wings (21-19-4) bounced back strong from Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to San Jose, which snapped their seven-game winning streak, in the first stop of a challenging four-game trip. Florida (26-17-3) was 12-0-1 in its past 13 games against the Red Wings.

Detroit is looking to respond after a 6-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, which ended its season-high seven-game winning streak. Two goals from Vladimir Tarasenko and one goal from Lucas Raymond saw the Red Wings pull within 4-3 just before the midway mark of the third period, but Detroit ultimately couldn’t find the equalizer.

The big question being asked Friday night as the Florida Panthers played the Penguins was, how good is Spencer Knight in a shootout? Um…probably pretty good? It was hard to say. Knight had not been in this spot in an NHL game for some time.
