Red Wings’ Goalie Decision Brings Painful Panthers Memory Full Circle

The Red Wings enter Monday night with an opportunity to take down the Florida Panthers. They are turning to a former Panther to man the net. Per Daily Faceoff, via George Richards, Daniil Tarasov will start at goaltender for the Red Wings. Tarasov spent last season in Sunrise, where he made 33 appearances, including 31 starts. While he finished just 13-15-3, he was also part of a Panthers team hit with the injury bug. That said, one of those wins came in that 8-1 thrashing in the 2025-26 season finale against the Red Wings.
