DETROIT (AP) Brian Campbell scored at 1:20 of overtime, lifting 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 14:38 of the third period as the Panthers earned at least a point in a seventh consecutive game at the Joe Louis Arena. They haven’t lost in regulation at Detroit since Dec. 15, 2007.
Roberto Luongo made 28 saves for Florida and Petr Mrazek had 30 for Detroit.
Detroit’s Dylan Larkin intercepted a pass and scored his team-leading 10th goal, unassisted, at 7:02 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.
Nothing got past Mrazek after that, however, until Smith’s tip-in at 14:38 of the 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.
