Carter Mazur Scores 1st NHL Goal, Red Wings Hold Off Panthers With 5-3 Win

Carter Mazur scored his first career NHL goal as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Florida Panthers 5-3 at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard scored the eventual game-winning goal, while Alex DeBrincat, Justin Faulk, and Emmitt Finnie also scored for Detroit. Goaltender Daniil Tarasov stopped 23 shots against his former club to secure the victory for the Red Wings, improving their season record to 7-5-3.

Florida stayed competitive with goals from Sam Reinhart, Aaron Ekblad, and Sam Bennett, but failed to find an equalizer before Finnie's late empty-net goal. Panthers goaltender Jacob Markstrom countered with 24 saves in the loss. Following the victory, Detroit travels to face the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday evening.
