(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Red Wings hope to rebound from a loss and win for the eighth time in 10 outings when they host the Florida Panthers in Fridays clash at Joe Louis Arena. Detroit boasts a 7-1-1 record over its last nine games, but is coming off Wednesdays shootout loss against visiting Toronto. The 2-1 setback snapped the clubs winning streak at three games, but the point gained put the Red Wings in sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Division. The Red Wings have since fallen one point behind Tampa Bay for the divisions top spot after the Lightning beat Carolina on Thursday. Detroit could once again overtake the idle Bolts with a win tonight. Detroit led the Maple Leafs 1-0 after Gustav Nyquist scored late in the second period, but that would be all the offense the Wings could muster against Torontos James Reimer, who stopped 41 shots for the visitors. Phil Kessel evened the score at 5:09 of the second period and Mike Santorelli tallied the winning goal in the shootout. With the final attempt, Santorelli skated in on net and buried a wrister between the pads of Jimmy Howard for the victory. Howard finished the game with 18 stops through regulation and overtime, but his team fell to 1-4 this season in shootouts. Detroit head coach Mike Babcock was pleased with his teams effort despite the end result. The Red Wings dominated play for much of Wednesdays game, outshooting the Leafs 42-19 for the game and 18-6 in the third period alone. I thought we played good, Babcock said. We got a point. They stole two points but Ill take it every night. If you play like that youre going to win. Despite the loss, Detroit still boasts a 11-3-3 record on home ice this season. Howard will start tonight and he is 2-1-1 with a 1.95 goals against average in four career games against Florida. Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser will miss tonights game with an upper- body injury and he also is expected to sit out Saturdays game in Toronto. Justin Abdelkader has missed the last five games with a bruised left shoulder and is questionable for tonight. Florida has lost three of five games in December after ending last month on a two-game winning streak. The Panthers hope to get back on track against the Red Wings, as Florida enters Fridays battle having won two of three and four of the last six meetings with Detroit. Florida also has taken three in a row in the Motor City and boasts a 4-0-1 mark in its last five trips to Joe Louis Arena. Florida opened a three-game road trip Monday in St. Louis and fell to 5-4-5 as the guest after a 4-2 setback. The Panthers tied the score at 2-2 on an Aaron Ekblad goal early in the third period, but Chris Porter delivered the game- winner for the Blues with 1:54 remaining in regulation. Paul Stastny added an empty-net tally to seal the victory for the home team. Ekblad, a leading candidate for the NHLs Calder Trophy, is pacing all rookie defensemen in goals (5) and assists (13) this season. Nick Bjugstad also scored for Florida, which received 24 stops from Roberto Luongo in defeat. Disappointed to lose the way we lost at the end, but I thought we battled hard and competed hard with a really good club, Panthers head coach Gerard Gallant said. Luongo is expected to start tonight for Florida. He owns a 12-13-5 record and a 2.88 GAA in 31 career games against the Red Wings. The Panthers could get Scottie Upshall back in the lineup tonight. The forward has missed the last seven games due to an ankle injury, but Upshall practiced on Thursday and is questionable for tonight. Fellow forward Aleksander Barkov, who has sat out the last four games with groin and hand issues, also practiced on Thursday, but is not expected to return to game action until next week. Florida will complete its road trip Saturday in Buffalo. Adidas España Outlet .

Thats a good problem to have. Justin Upton extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a bases-loaded single during Atlantas decisive third inning, and the Braves extended their offensive resurgence with an 8-0 victory over the fading Cincinnati Reds on Thursday night. Atlanta sent 11 batters to the plate in the third for five runs. Jason Heyward got it started with a single off David Holmberg (0-1) and drew a bases-loaded walk that finished the rally. Upton singled home a pair of runs during the inning and later added a sacrifice fly. "We got on em early," said Freddie Freeman, who walked, was hit by a pitch twice and scored a pair of runs. "We got on base for the middle of the lineup, and Justins been awesome." Julio Teheran (12-9) went six innings and allowed four hits by the Reds, who have lost six in a row. His biggest problem was staying loose while the Braves offence had its way with Cincinnati. "Julio was good," Gonzalez said. "It was tough to pitch today. We had some long innings and he was sitting on the bench for a long time. But he kept his concentration." Teheran went into the clubhouse and stretched while the innings went on and on. "It was difficult," Teheran said. "I was trying to stay warm and trying to stay loose." The Braves have won six of their last seven games, scoring at least seven runs four times. They remain seven games behind Washington in the NL East, the product of their 15-18 mark since the All-Star break. Cincinnati fell a season-high 10 1/2 games back -- its biggest deficit since the end of the 2011 season -- with its 11th loss in its last 13 games. The Reds are 10-23 since the All-Star break, tumbling out of playoff contention. Holmberrg retired only eight batters.dddddddddddd The left-hander gave up six runs and five hits, walked four and hit two batters in his second start for Cincinnati. Andrelton Simmons hit his seventh homer in the second inning to put Atlanta ahead. He also drove in a run with a groundout. Skip Schumaker pitched the ninth for Cincinnati, walking one and throwing a fastball that hit 90 mph on the radar gun. It was the utility players fourth career pitching performance. TRAINERS ROOM Braves: Gonzalez was waiting for a medical update on right-hander Shae Simmons, who had to quit throwing at Triple-A Gwinnett because the back of his pitching shoulder was bothering him. Reds: Manager Bryan Price said 1B Joey Votto has started jogging, but isnt doing any baseball-related activities. Votto has been on the DL since July 8 with strained muscles above his left knee. UP NEXT Braves: LHP Mike Minor (5-8) won both of his starts against the Reds last season, allowing three runs in 14 innings. Reds: RHP Mat Latos (4-3) is 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA in his last four starts. He is making his 13th start in a season cut short by two injuries. MOVES The Reds sent struggling relievers J.J. Hoover and Carlos Contreras to Triple-A Louisville. They brought up Holmberg and right-hander Pedro Villarreal, who relieved Holmberg in the third inning. Villarreal also singled in the third for his first big league hit. OVERTURNED Heyward got a single to open the five-run third inning when the Braves challenged a call that Schumaker had made a diving, backhand catch of his sinking liner to left field. The replay showed the ball was trapped and the call was overturned. And the big inning had begun. STRUGGLES TIMES TWO Holmberg, acquired in the Ryan Hanigan trade, has faced 37 batters during his two starts and allowed 21 of them to reach base: 12 hits, seven walks, two hit batters, four homers.
