SUNRISE, Fla. — The Red Wings broke out of the goal-scoring slump, but not losing streak.

Florida scored four consecutive goals and defeated the Wings, 5-4, Thursday, extending the Wings' losing streak to five games.

The Wings (7-10-3) have lost six of their last seven games.

Anton Lundell scored his second goal of the game, sixth of the season, converting a pass from Matthew Tkachuk at 17 minutes 20 seconds of the third period, breaking a 4-4 tie.

Florida tied the game 4-4 on a Lars Eller goal at 16:29. Panthers defenseman Niko Mikkola pinched on the play, gathered the puck in the corner, and fed Eller in front, Eller's third goal.

J.T. Compher, Andreas Englund, Lucas Raymond and Marco Kasper had Wings goals.

Lundell cut the Red Wings' lead to 4-3 just 2:32 into the third period, after a Panthers' power play expired. Lundell scooped up a loose puck at the post and snuck it past goaltender John Gibson, for his fifth goal, and giving Florida loads of momentum.

Florida's Gustav Forsling cut the Wings' lead to 4-2 with 17.8 seconds left in the second period, his second goal, as Gibson was screened on the point shot.

Compher (third goal, 4:07) and Englund (first goal, 13:14) had first-period Wings goals.

Compher received a pass from Carter Mazur, who sprung Compher free down the middle of the ice, and Compher made a slick forehand-backhand move at the net, slipping a shot past goalie Akira Schmid.

Compher's goal was only 15 seconds after the Panthers had taken a 1-0 lead. Sam Reinhart skated through the slot and backhanded a shot that bounced off Gibson and into the net, Reinhart's 11th goal, at 3:52.

Englund's first goal as a Red Wing put the Wings ahead 2-1. Englund got the puck in the high slot, and lifted a shot that was deflected off defenseman Seth Jones' stick by the hashmarks, and carried over Schmid at 13:14.

Jones again contributed to the Wings' next goal. Raymond's shot from the point bounced off Jones in the slot and froze Schmid, Raymond's seventh goal giving the Wings a 3-1 lead, only 17 seconds into the second period.

Kasper stretched the lead to 4-1 at 12:08 of the second period with his first goal. Kasper got his stick on William Wallinder's shot from the point, redirecting the puck over a startled Schmid.
