The Panthers acquired Tarasenko from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline last season to add depth to their forward group as well as a veteran presence who had already been where the Panthers were trying to go.

The Detroit Red Wings visit the Florida Panthers after Vladimir Tarasenko scored two goals in the Red Wings' 6-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

They were nice goals -- the kind the sniper of old would score. And he has four points (two goals, two assists) in his last two games.

The Red Wings' decision to fire Derek Lalonde and replace him with Todd McLellan has proven to be the best move the organization could've made.

Todd McLellan didn't cushion his opinion after watching the Detroit Red Wings lose for the first time in eight games. The Wings (20-19-4) head on their first extended road trip under McLellan tarnished by a 6-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks that basically reinforced McLellan's concerns from the previous game.

Tarasenko banked two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 6-2 win over Seattle.
