Dan Cleary’s goal with just over two minutes remaining snapped a tie that led the Detroit Red Wings to a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday.
Cleary scored with two minutes, three seconds left in regulation as the puck hit veteran Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist’s right pad and left skate before sliding over the goal line.
New York, who led 1-0 on Brian Boyle’s first period goal before Detroit scored the next three, lost for the fourth time in five games.
■SENATORS VS DUCKS
AP, NEW YORK
At Anaheim, California, Ottawa Senators gave up one-goal leads three times against the Anaheim Ducks — each time in less than a minute — before Alex Kovalev and Daniel Alfredsson scored in the first two rounds of a shootout, snapping the Senators’ four-game losing streak.
Ryan Getzlaf scored a fluke goal for Anaheim 15 seconds after Jarkko Ruutu got one, Joffrey Lupul tied it again 31 seconds after Jason Spezza regained the lead for the Senators, and Corey Perry completed the Ducks’ unusual “hat trick” early in the third period after Filip Kuba’s go-ahead score.

Philadelphia Flyers left wing Dan Carcillo was suspended for four games on Sunday by the National Hockey League for a fight that brought him 19 minutes in penalties and an ejection.
The 24-year-old Canadian received the punishments after his game misconduct on Saturday night in the Flyers’ 8-2 home loss to the Washington Capitals.
Carcillo landed a solid punch on Washington’s Matt Bradley, while the Capital was in the process of dropping his gloves. Bradley fell to the ice and departed the game.
Barcelona’s Ferran Torres scored twice on Sunday to help secure a late 4-2 comeback win at Atletico Madrid in a pulsating La Liga clash that took the Catalan side back to the top of the table. Barca have 60 points and a game in hand after last week’s postponement of their home game with CA Osasuna. They are level on points with Real Madrid, who won 2-1 at Villarreal on Saturday. “I am happy and proud of this team,” Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick told a news conference. “They never give up... It’s a great three points and we are happy to
Paolo Banchero on Sunday scored 24 points as the Orlando Magic overturned a 13-point deficit to end the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 16-game unbeaten streak with a gutsy 108-103 road victory. Cleveland, the runaway Eastern Conference leaders, had looked poised to extend their franchise-record winning run after surging clear of Orlando early in the third quarter, but after a season where they have staged hefty winning comebacks of their own, the tables turned on Cleveland in the face of a furious burst of Orlando scoring. The Magic outscored Cleveland 35-23 in the third quarter, with Franz Wagner leading the charge with nine points and
Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday held their nerve to beat Liverpool 4-1 on penalties and reach the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after their tie finished one-apiece on aggregate, while Bayern Munich saw off Bayer 04 Leverkusen to complete a 5-0 win over both legs. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha fired Barcelona into the next round as the Catalans bested SL Benfica 3-1, and Inter booked a last-eight meeting with Bayern by seeing off Feyenoord 2-1. At Anfield, Ousmane Dembele netted the only goal of the night as PSG bounced back from Liverpool’s late winner last week to force the tie to extra-time and penalties. Maligned
Taiwan’s Lin Chun-yi on Wednesday inflicted a first-round defeat on former badminton world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen at the All England Open. Lin came out of top after a back-and-forth first game before Axelsen dominated the second, but the Dane was not able to keep that form in the decider as Lin reeled off six points in a row on the way to a 21-19, 13-21, 21-11 victory. “If I don’t play my best, everyone can win against me,” said Axelsen, the world No. 4. “Today’s opponent played a fantastic game; it was disappointing, but that is how it is.” “I just tried
