SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Dylan Larkin scored two goals and the surging Detroit Red Wings beat the Florida Panthers 5-2 on Thursday night. Larkin, Jonatan Berggren and Patrick Kane had power-play goals for Detroit, which also got a goal from Marco Kasper. Cam Talbot stopped 40 shots for the Red Wings, who have won eight of their last nine games.

Frost, who has scored in three straight games, says he is trying to correct his tendency of playing too much on the perimeter. John Tortorella wants to see more of it.

Konecny notched three assists in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
