FORT LAUDERDALE — The Florida Panthers and Detroit Red Wings play for the second time in less than a week Tuesday in Sunrise.
Only the Panthers will look a little different.
Florida will play without its two leading scorers with both Sam Reinhart and Brad Marchand out of the lineup.
Paul Maurice said Reinhart is more of a rest and prevent kind of deal; Marchand will likely be out longer.
While the Panthers may look a little different than they did in Detroit, so too, will the Red Wings.
On Friday, Detroit acquired defenseman Justin Faulk from the Blues in a deadline deal.
He played Sunday in Newark against the Devils and will be back with former Florida d-man Ben Chiarot again tonight.
Faulk was 2-0 against the Panthers this season while with St. Louis.
“You can’t take this team lightly. Ever,’’ Faulk said of the Panthers. “They’re aggressive, they play hard 5-on-5, they’re all over you.’’
