Detroit Red Wings News & Notes
Detroit let a two-goal third-period lead slip away Saturday afternoon, losing 5-4 to St. Louis after the Blues scored three unanswered goals. Dalibor Dvorsky opened the scoring 2:30 in before Michael Rasmussen set up JT Compher for the tying goal on a Joel Hofer giveaway behind the net. Keegan Kolesar scored his first goal as a Red Wing 40 seconds into the second period, finishing a Carter Mazur feed. Detroit outshot St. Louis 8-1 in the opening period.
Before the loss, Detroit recalled defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker and reassigned Axel Sandin-Pellikka to Grand Rapids. The club followed Sunday by recalling forward John Leonard from the Griffins, with Grand Rapids bringing up Moyle in a corresponding move. Head coach Todd McLellan publicly defended goaltender John Gibson after the Blues game. On the trade front, Washington has reportedly engaged Detroit in discussions about Dylan Larkin, and Kris Draper has scouted the Capitals twice in four days.
Florida Panthers News & Notes
Sam Reinhart is tied for the NHL lead with six power-play goals. Seth Jones has 18 points in 14 games, including 16 assists, second on the team behind Matthew Tkachuk and third among league defensemen, while shooting just 5.4 percent, down from 8.0 and 7.0 percent the previous two seasons. The Panthers sit third in the Atlantic Division, with only four points separating first from last place. Jacob Markstrom, sidelined after taking a puck off the shoulder in practice, was expected back around the start of November.

Players To Watch
Lucas Raymond — Detroit Red Wings
Raymond is coming off a goal and an assist on four shots in 19:18. Box Score Junkie has him at 64.8% Corsi-for this season with 77.7 shot attempts for per 60, and he’s buried seven goals on 5.5 expected. With Larkin out, he’s the Detroit play to back.
Seth Jones — Florida Panthers
Jones put up a goal and two assists in 24:16 last time out on a single shot, so the production came from distribution. Box Score Junkie credits him with 58.5% Corsi-for across 348 minutes this season and 9.3 high-danger xG generated with him on the ice — a points prop worth a look.
