Brian Campbell scored at 1 minute, 20 seconds of overtime to lift the Florida Panthers a 2-1 victory over the Red Wings on Sunday for their fifth straight win in Detroit.
Campbell helped set up Reilly Smith’s tying goal at 14 minutes, 38 seconds of the third period as the Panthers earned at least a point in a seventh consecutive game at the Joe Louis Arena. They have not lost in regulation at Detroit since Dec. 15, 2007.

Detroit’s Dylan Larkin intercepted a pass and scored his team-leading 10th goal, unassisted, at 7 minutes, 2 seconds of the second period for the game’s first goal.
The Panthers had a goal waved off just 28 seconds into the game.
The call, which withstood a challenge by Florida coach Gerard Gallant, was made when Jonathan Hubereau interfered with Mrazek before Reilly Smith’s backhander crossed the line.
However, nothing got past Mrazek after that, until Smith’s tip-in in third period. Smith was upended in front of the Detroit net, but got up just in time to get his stick on Campbell’s shot.
Many of the Panthers’ 22 shots through two periods were good scoring chances, including two by Brandon Pirri.
The game was the first of a five-game trip for Florida.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
RALLY: It was only the second time the Taiwanese has partnered with Kudermetova, and the match seemed tight until they won seven points in a row to take the last set 10-2 Taiwan’s Chan Hao-ching and Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova on Sunday won the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix women’s doubles final in Stuttgart, Germany. The pair defeated Norway’s Ulrikke Eikeri and Estonia’s Ingrid Neel 4-6, 6-3, 10-2 in a tightly contested match at the WTA 500 tournament.

They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3.

Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital.
