SUNRISE, Fla. — Matthew Tkachuk had a goal and two assists, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 30 shots for his second shutout of the season, and the Florida Panthers beat the Kings 3-0 on Wednesday night.

“I’m playing with my food here a little bit,” the Florida Panthers’ veteran coach said.

Detroit scored four goals — including three times on the power play — before Bobrovsky was pulled late in the second period of the Panthers’ 5-2 loss to the Red Wings on Thursday to begin a quick two-game homestand at Amerant Bank Arena.
