Stephen Weiss scored Florida’s other goal and added an assist. Nathan Horton had two assists and Scott Clemmensen stopped 39 shots.

Pavel Datsyuk also scored for Detroit, which lost its second straight at home. Chris Osgood made 18 saves.

McCabe beat Osgood with a one-timed shot from the right circle for his third of the season.
