Dylan Larkin and Brendan Smith scored for Detroit, and Frans Nielsen had two assists. Peter Mrazek stopped six of the 10 shots before being replaced by Jimmy Howard in the second period. Howard finished with 13 saves.
Florida scored three goals in the first period to take a 3-0 lead.
Sceviour scored twice within 23 seconds for a two-goal lead. He scored a power-play goal at 6:09 when he tipped in Trocheck's cross-crease pass. Sceviour then put in a loose puck from in front at 6:32.
Marchessault made it 3-0 with 2:32 left in the first when he tipped in a cross-ice pass from Denis Malgin to complete a 2-on-1 rush. It was Marchessault's sixth goal.
Larkin's power-play goal put the Red Wings on the scoreboard at 2:36 of the second as he beat Reimer with a one-timer from the right circle for his third goal.
Trocheck restored the three-goal margin 2:26 later on a snap shot from the inside edge of the left circle off the rush. It was Trocheck's fourth goal and chased Mrazek.
Sceviour completed his hat trick with a short-handed goal with 3:35 left in the middle period, putting a loose puck into an open net with Howard out of position. It was his fifth goal this season, with four coming against Detroit.
