Red Wings 3, Panthers 0

DETROIT -- Goaltender Petr Mrazek made 23 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and ninth of his career and center Pavel Datsyuk scored twice in the Detroit Red Wings' 3-0 victory against the Florida Panthers on Monday at Joe Louis Arena.

Left winger Tomas Tatar also scored for Detroit and forward Henrik Zetterberg had two assists.

Goalie Al Montoya made 28 saves for Florida.

Florida right winger Jaromir Jagr, 43, played his 1,600th career game. He has played the most games of any active NHL player and is 10th all- time.

Tatar gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead 4:19 into the third period when defenseman Jakub Kindl's shot from the point in the middle of the ice deflected in off the shaft of Kindl's stick. It was Tatar's 16th goal and second in two games.

Datsyuk made it 2-0 with 8:34 left with a power-play goal. He beat Montoya with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle.

Florida coach Gerard Gallant challenged the goal because he thought the play had been offside, but the score stood.

Datsyuk scored again 1:08 later when he took a pass from Zetterberg, cut in on Montoya and slid a backhand shot through Montoya's pads.

Datsyuk scored his seventh and eighth goals.

Florida center Aleksander Barkov didn't play in the third period after taking a big hit from Detroit winger Justin Abdelkader.
