SUNRISE— Carter Verhaeghe is not going to be too popular in Detroit after what the Florida Panthers winger did to the Red Wings on Tuesday night.
Down a goal with Daniil Tarasov on the bench, Verhaeghe not only tied the score with 90 seconds remaining but won it with 15 on the clock in Florida's 4-3 win.

The Red Wings have lost two of the past three — both to the Panthers.
Tuesday, Vinnie Hinostroza got his first goal with the Panthers (he had no points in nine games back in 2021) to give Florida a 1-0 lead.
Only the Red Wings battled back and led 2-1 in the second and 3-2 in the third.
With Tarasov (25 saves) on the bench, Verhaeghe got his first to make it 3-3 with 1:30 remaining.
He gave the Panthers the lead off another Matthew Tkachuk pass with 15 seconds left.
NOTES: RED WINGS at PANTHERS
-
The Panthers played without their two top scorers on Tuesday: Sam Reinhart is expected to be back Thursday against the Blue Jackets after getting a couple of extra days off basically for maintenance. Brad Marchand is likely out a lot longer .
-
The Red Wings wore their home red jerseys on Tuesday — because the Panthers felt like wearing white. The team plans on wearing their road jersey at home more often. Until 2003, NHL teams traditionally wore white at home before changing up to wearing solid colors at home.
-
Detroit center Andrew Copp left the game in the second period after Tomas Nosek landed on him following a faceoff. Copp appeared to sustain an injury to his left leg.
