DETROIT (AP) — Jonathan Huberdeau and the Florida Panthers refused to let a terrible first period ruin their entire night.After trailing by three goals Zach Bogosian Jersey Womens , the Panthers roared back and beat the struggling Detroit Red Wings 4-3 when Huberdeau scored the only goal in a shootout Monday.Florida, which has won six of eight, was down 3-0 after the opening period.“We showed some resiliency and we stuck to our plan,” coach Bob Boughner said. “We told the guys after the first period that we weren’t that bad, but they got some breaks and they ended up in our net.”Jared McCann, Henrik Borgstrom and Jayce Hawryluk scored in the second for Florida to tie it.Roberto Luongo allowed three goals on eight shots before being replaced by James Reimer to start the middle period. Reimer stopped 12 shots and all three attempts in the tiebreaker.“Obviously, it was a pretty bad first period and Lou got hung out to dry. We really pushed in the second period, though, and got ourselves back into the game,” Reimer said. “They have some great guys for the shootout — I’ve faced them enough to know. So you just try to keep your eyes on the puck and not fall for their tricks.”Reimer denied Gustav Nyquist, Frans Nielsen — the NHL’s career leader in shootout goals — and Dylan Larkin.Andreas Athanasiou Scott Wedgewood Jersey Womens , Nyquist and Thomas Vanek scored for Detroit, which has lost its last five games (0-3-2). Jimmy Howard made 24 saves.“In the second I thought we stopped talking, we stopped moving our feet, we stopped shoulder-checking,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “So we bogged ourselves down and all of a sudden we were in our end too much.”An apparent power-play goal by Athanasiou 3:55 into the third period was reversed because the play was ruled offside after a challenge by the Panthers.Hawryluk’s third goal of the season with 4:45 left in the second tied the game. Borgstrom brought Florida within one when he scored his third goal with 7:49 remaining in the middle period. McCann made it 3-1 with a short-handed goal at 6:19.The Panthers outshot the Red Wings 14-2 in the second.Athanasiou opened the scoring 5:15 into the game with his 13th goal. Nyquist and Vanek scored 59 seconds apart late in the period.Nyquist made it 2-0 with 2:32 left in the first with his 10th goal.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tom Wilson missed Washington’s first 16 games due to a suspension for an illegal check. In the five games since his return, Wilson has shown just how valuable he is to the Capitals.Wilson scored 54 seconds into the contest to set the pace and Washington defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 Wednesday night for its first three-game winning streak of the season.Andre Burakovsky Conor Sheary Jersey Womens , Michal Kempny and Devante Smith-Pelly added goals for the defending Stanley Cup champions.This win was easier for the Capitals, whose previous two victories came in overtime. Braden Holtby stopped 37 shots for Washington.Wilson was originally suspended for 20 games for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis forward Oskar Sundqvist in the teams’ preseason finale. That suspension was reduced to 14 games by a neutral arbitrator, but by the time the decision was rendered, Wilson had already missed 16 games.Had the 20-game suspension stood, this would have been Wilson’s first game. Instead, it was his first home game, and he got a loud reception.Wilson, who scored in his first game, upended Chicago goalie Corey Crawford on the way to the goal. Crawford stopped 23 shots. In his previous three games, he’d allowed just two goals.“Sometimes when you have to watch some games for a while, you pick up some different things you can add Tage Thompson Jersey Womens ,” Capitals coach Todd Reirden said.“He’s played great since he’s been back, and we’re fortunate to get him back earlier than expected.”Washington has had an uneven start in its defense of the Cup. With Wilson’s suspension and injuries to key players, they’re hoping to get on a roll now.“We’re demanding of each other to get back there,” Wilson said of the team’s quest for back-to-back Stanley Cups.“There was adversity at the beginning of last year,” he said. “That’s how you build a team.”Burakovsky knows how difficult the Capitals’ task is.“Obviously, it was a shorter summer for us and a shorter time to prepare ourselves for the season,” Burakovsky said. “So, just to get back after a year that we had, I think it’s tough to get in and get going right away. So, we’re building our game slowly and tonight I think we did exactly what we wanted.”Brandon Saad and Erik Gustafsson scored for Chicago, which began a streak of seven road games in its next nine contests.Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton replaced longtime coach Joel Queeneville on Nov. 6 Dalton Prout Jersey Womens , and the team is 2-3-2 since. Chicago has lost eight straight games in Washington.“I thought the effort was there and we looked like we were going to climb back into it multiple times during the game,” Colliton said. “Some self-inflicted wounds there that made it difficult on the road against a cup winner. That’s kind of the story today.”Kempny whose goal midway through the second period gave Washington a 3-0 lead, was happy his first goal of the season came against his former team.“It feels really nice,” Kempny said. I have to say, it wasn’t an easy game for me to play. I know a lot of guys from Chicago. I was there almost two seasons. . It feels a little bit weird. The first period I was really excited from the game. After the first I was trying a little bit to settle down and keep playing my game and help my team to win.”NOTES: Washington forwards Evegeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie were out with upper body injuries for the third straight game. . Forwards Luke Johnson, Chris Kunitz and D Brandon Manning were all healthy scratches for Chicago for the second straight game. . Capitals F Alex Oveckhin was penalized for slashing in the second period, just his fourth penalty in 21 games. … Washington F Jakub Vrana had two assists, Oveckhin had one.UP NEXT:Blackhawks: Visit Tampa Bay in the second game of a three-game road trip on Friday.Capitals: Host Detroit on Friday afternoon.
