Dylan Larkin scored a power-play goal 1:09 into overtime, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 victory against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night in Sunrise, Fla.

Aaron Ekblad was called for hooking with 39 seconds left in the third period, and Larkin scored with a wrist shot from the edge of the slot with 12 seconds left on the man-advantage.

Michael Rasmussen had a goal and an assist, Robby Fabbri scored, Olli Maatta had two assists and Alex Lyon made 32 saves for the Red Wings. Detroit won its third game in a row and extended its point streak to seven games (6-0-1).

Sam Reinhart set a franchise record by scoring in his eighth straight game for the Panthers. Gustav Forsling also scored and Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 26 shots for the Panthers, who have lost three in a row (0-1-2) following a nine-game winning streak.

Reinhart recorded the 500th NHL point of his career when he scored short-handed at 5:38 of the second period to give Florida a 1-0 lead.

He has 10 goals during the scoring streak as he passed the team mark set by Pavel Bure in 2000-01.

Reinhart's goal was set up after Detroit turned the puck over coming across the Florida blue line. Dmitry Kulikov got the puck Anton Lundell, who slowed up and waited for Reinhart to enter the zone. Lundell fed the puck ahead to Reinhart, who scored with a wrist shot for his 33rd of the season, matching his career high.

Reinhart also joined Radek Dvorak (2009-10) as the second player in team history to score a short-handed goal in consecutive games.

The Red Wings tied it 1-1 at 11:40 of the second when Rasmussen tipped in a shot from Maatta, but the Panthers regained the lead 16 seconds later.

Detroit turned the puck over in front of its net and Lyon made a save on Forsling, who followed up the shot and scored the rebound for a 2-1 edge at 11:56.

Detroit tied it 2-2 at 6:15 of the third period. Rasmussen brought the puck out from behind the net and made a backhanded pass from the left circle to Fabbri cutting through the right circle, and Fabbri scored on a one-timer.
