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. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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. <\/p>\n<p>Florida Panthers News &amp; Notes<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit Red Wings Projected Lines<\/p>\n<p>Line 1: Alex DeBrincat \u2013 Emmitt Finnie \u2013 Viktor Arvidsson<\/p>\n<p>Line 2: Michael Brandsegg-Nyg\u00e5rd \u2013 Andrew Copp \u2013 Lucas Raymond<\/p>\n<p>Line 3: Michael Rasmussen \u2013 J.T.
