Michael Leighton made 20 saves for his second shutout in three games as the Chicago Blackhawks blanked the Detroit Red Wings 3-0 in one of just three games in the National Hockey League on Sunday.
Leighton posted the third shutout of his brief NHL career as the Blackhawks won for just the third time in their past 23 games, with two of the wins coming against Detroit.
The Red Wings are just 1-2-1 in their past four games and have scored just four goals in those games, even though they still lead the league in goals scored.
Leighton made several key saves with the Wings on the powerplay, as Detroit was 0-for-6 with the extra man. The Wings have not scored in their last 20 powerplay opportunities.
Nathan Dempsey, Tuomo Ruutu and Deron Quint scored the goals for Chicago.
Manny Legace made 25 saves in goal for the Red Wings.
Senators 5, Thrashers 2
In Ottawa, Marian Hossa scored a pair of goals to lead the Senators to a 5-2 win over the Atlanta Thrashers.
Hossa was awarded his second goal when Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk threw his stick at Hossa's attempt at scoring an open net goal, resulting in an automatic goal for the Ottawa player.
Daniel Alfredsson, Karel Rachunek and Chris Phillips also scored for the Senators, while Patrick Lalime made 21 saves in goal. Ottawa is now unbeaten in six games (4-0-2).
Flames 2, Oilers 1
In Edmonton, Jarome Iginla's third period goal was the winner as the Calgary Flames edged the Oilers 2-1.
RECORD DEFEAT: The Shanghai-based ‘Oriental Sports Daily’ said the drubbing was so disastrous, and taste so bitter, that all that is left is ‘numbness’ Chinese soccer fans and media rounded on the national team yesterday after they experienced fresh humiliation in a 7-0 thrashing to rivals Japan in their opening Group C match in the third phase of Asian qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. The humiliation in Saitama on Thursday against Asia’s top-ranked team was China’s worst defeat in World Cup qualifying and only a goal short of their record 8-0 loss to Brazil in 2012. Chinese President Xi Jinping once said he wanted China to host and even win the World Cup one day, but that ambition looked further away than ever after a
Crowds descended on the home of 17-year-old Chinese diver Quan Hongchan after she won two golds at the Paris Olympics while gymnast Zhang Boheng hid in a Beijing airport toilet to escape overzealous throngs of fans. They are just two recent examples of what state media are calling “toxic fandom” and Chinese authorities have vowed to crack down on it.

Khelif’s image is practically everywhere, featured in advertisements at airports, on highway billboards and in boxing gyms. The 25-year-old welterweight’s success in Paris has vaulted her to national hero status, especially after Algerians rallied behind her in the face of uninformed speculation about her gender and eligibility to compete. Amateur boxer Zougar Amina, a medical student who has been practicing for a year, called Khelif an
