Nov 2, 2026 7:07 PM
Florida’s starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom returns the ice in flashy new threads as the surging Cats chase a fourth straight win when they host former goalie Daniil Tarasov and the visiting Red Wings.
Things have been looking up for the Florida Panthers lately.
Florida will look for a season-high fourth consecutive victory on Monday night when they host the Detroit Red Wings at Amerant Bank Arena.
The Panthers will also have a different look to them when they hit the ice.
Monday, the Cats will debut their new Hometown Remix uniforms, which every team throughout the NHL will be showing off at some point this week.
As for the game itself, there will only be one change in the Panthers lineup from their previous outing, a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night.
Florida will welcome starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom back between the pipes after he was forced to miss the past five games.
Markstrom suffered an upper-body injury during practice on Oct. 19 but has been seen back on the ice in recent days, which signaled his imminent return.
So far this season, Markstrom holds a 5-1-1 record to go with a 2.21 goals against average and .897 save percentage.
He’ll be matched up against former Panthers puck-stopper Daniil Tarasov, who is expected to get the nod in net for the Red Wings.
Here are the Panthers projected lines and pairings for Monday’s meeting with Detroit:
Brady Tkachuk – Sam Bennett – Matthew Tkachuk
Carter Verhaeghe – Sam Reinhart – Sandis Vilmanis
Eetu Luostarinen – Anton Lundell – Lars Eller
Boko Imama – Cole Schwindt – Garnet Hathaway
Gus Forsling – Aaron Ekblad
Niko Mikkola – Seth Jones
Dmitry Kulikov – Radko Gudas
