Florida vs Detroit Prediction 13 November 2026
🔊 Just ten days ago, Detroit left Sunrise with a win. Now they return on a four-game losing streak. Florida have also been through a difficult stretch, but ended their road trip with a convincing win over Columbus. The Panthers have won four of their six home games, though one of their two defeats came against the Red Wings. Detroit’s offence has faltered badly: they have scored just five goals in four games. Can Florida take advantage of their opponents’ problems and get revenge?
Five goals in Sunrise
📊 The teams’ previous game ended in an unexpected defeat for the hosts. Detroit won 5:3 on Florida’s ice, with five different players scoring their goals: Carter Mazur, Alex DeBrincat, Justin Faulk, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård and Emmitt Finnie. The Panthers responded with goals from Sam Reinhart, Aaron Ekblad and Sam Bennett. Daniil Tarasov saved 23 of 26 shots. The loss was particularly disappointing for Florida, as it ended their three-game winning streak.
Head-to-head statistics Florida - Detroit

Bennett and Markström turned things around
Florida Panthers have 22 points and sit seventh in the Eastern Conference. Their recent results have been mixed: just two wins in five games, with losses to Washington and Boston before the trip to Columbus. Their power play, though, has been working well. The Panthers have scored on the power play in seven of their last eight games. Paul Maurice’s team also look more confident at home, although the loss to Detroit remains an unpleasant reminder of their defensive problems.
The first period in Columbus was goalless, but Florida moved ahead quickly in the second. Sam Bennett scored on the power play, and Lars Eller doubled the lead two minutes later. Ivan Provorov cut the deficit before the intermission, but Bennett scored again at four-on-four in the third period. Reinhart completed the scoring with an empty-net goal (4-1). Jacob Markström made 37 saves, while Ekblad and Anton Lundell each recorded two assists. After two unsuccessful games, that win came at just the right time.

Everything has gone wrong since the win over Florida
Paradoxically, Detroit’s last win came against the Florida Panthers. Since then, Todd McLellan’s team have lost four straight games by a combined score of 5:13. The Detroit Red Wings did not even reach overtime in any of them. They have struggled in attack: they have scored 51 goals in 19 games and have not scored more than twice in any of their last four. With 17 points, Detroit sit 13th in the Eastern Conference. John Gibson’s return from injury has not yet helped end the losing streak either.
In St. Louis, the Red Wings opened the scoring when Andrew Copp deflected the puck in and took a one-goal lead into the first intermission. But the start of the second period undid that work. The home side scored twice in 1:57, leaving Detroit chasing the game again. The Red Wings improved markedly in the third period, outshooting their opponents 20:8, but conceded another goal. Moritz Seider pulled one back from a Lucas Raymond pass with just 1:14 left before the final siren. There was not enough time for another goal (2:3). Gibson finished the game with 30 saves.
