The Detroit Red Wings visit the Florida Panthers after Vladimir Tarasenko scored two goals in the Red Wings' 6-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

The Panthers acquired Tarasenko from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline last season to add depth to their forward group as well as a veteran presence who had already been where the Panthers were trying to go. Tarasenko already had one Stanley Cup win under his belt, winning it all with the St. Louis Blues in 2019.
