Oct 24, 2024; Detroit, Michigan, USA; New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes (86) skates with the puck defended by Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider (53) in the first period at Little Caesars Arena. Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Patrick Kane scored the go-ahead goal with 3:32 remaining and the Detroit Red Wings won their third straight game, topping the visiting New Jersey Devils 5-3 on Thursday.
Kane and Alex DeBrincat each had a goal and an assist for the Red Wings. Detroit’s Christian Fischer, Dylan Larkin and Michael Rasmussen also scored, while Cam Talbot made 37 saves.
Nico Hischier scored twice on the power play for New Jersey, and Erik Haula added a power-play goal while appearing in his 700th goal. Jacob Markstrom stopped 15 shots as the Devils took their third consecutive loss (0-2-1).
The Devils struck first after Detroit defenseman Moritz Seider was penalized for slashing in the first period. New Jersey’s Stefan Noesen won a puck battle behind the net and Jesper Bratt collected it on the right side. Bratt found Hischier in the slot at 12:11.
Fischer and DeBrincat scored 25 seconds apart before the period ended. Fischer scored his first goal at 18:09 after Andrew Copp dug the puck out of the boards and found Fischer near the net. Fischer converted his own rebound, lifting the puck over an outstretched Markstrom.
DeBrincat stole the puck near the blue line and tallied an unassisted goal with a wrist shot from the slot, his third goal this season and first since opening night.
The Devils scored a power-play goal early in the second to tie it. Timo Meier broke his stick while taking a shot from the right circle, and Haula tapped it into the net for his third goal.
New Jersey had 29 shots on goal in the first two periods, 15 more than Detroit, but the game remained knotted going into the third.
Fischer and Brenden Dillon squared off in a fight midway through the final period. Dillon got an extra two minutes for roughing.
The Red Wings converted during the ensuing power play, with Larkin banging in a feed from Kane at 9:46. It was the Red Wings captain’s fourth goal.
Following another brawl, New Jersey received a power play and Hischier scored again off a feed from Jack Hughes to tie it at 3-all. It was Hischier’s seventh of the campaign.
New Jersey’s Dawson Mercer committed a cross-checking penalty at 16:06 of the third period, and Kane scored his second of the season on a shot from the point.
Rasmussen sealed the win by scoring into an empty net with 12 seconds left, his first of the season.

Jenny Shin captures first win in 10 years at Scottish Open
Apr 23, 2026; Houston, Texas, United States; Jenny Shin of Korea hits a tee shot on the first hole during the first round of The Chevron Championship golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Erik Williams-Imagn Images Jenny Shin recorded her first win on the LPGA Tour in 10 years on Sunday by securing a two-stroke victory at the Women’s Scottish Open in North Ayrshire.
Shin entered the final round with a five-stroke lead — and needed it. She overcame five bogeys to finish at 3-over-par 75 on Sunday at Dundonald Links and finished at 9-under 279 for the tournament.
The 33-year-old South Korean’s last win on the tour was her maiden one in 2016, at the now-defunct Volunteers of America Texas Shootout.
“Yeah, my first win didn’t really feel like a win at the time. I didn’t feel like I deserved it,” said Shin, who was still wet after being doused with water during the post-round celebration.
“But this one definitely feels a lot different. This one feels like I earned it. I worked hard for it. I started working with my putting coach four years ago, and he asked me what my goal was. I said I needed to win before I retire.
“So I had been wanting it so badly in the last four years. I’m very, very excited.”
The last LPGA Tour player to go 10 or more years between official victories was Vicki Fergon, who went 12 years and three months between wins at the 1984 S&H Golf Classic and the 1996 Michelob Light Heartland Classic.
Shin carded bogeys on hole Nos. 6-8 before stopping her skid with birdies on hole Nos. 10 and 12. She limped down the home stretch with bogeys on Nos. 16 and 18.
“I feel like I’ve done everything wrong, just wasn’t hitting it like I was the last three days and was hitting it into bunkers, bushes, and it wasn’t fun,” Shin said. “With the three bogeys in a row, I thought, ‘Oh, boy, I don’t know where this is going to go.’
“But yeah, I hung in there and so I’m quite proud of myself. Very happy.”
A Lim Kim recorded a 68 on Sunday to ascend into second place at 7-under, two strokes ahead of Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn (74).
Kim, of South Korea, answered a bogey on the second hole with a birdie on the third. She rattled off four straight birdies on Nos. 9-12.
Germany’s Esther Henseleit (73) finished in fourth place at 4-under for the tournament.

Brewers DFA recently acquired Lance McCullers Jr.
Jul 20, 2026; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (50) throws a pitch during the sixth inning against the New York Mets at American Family Field. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images The Milwaukee Brewers designated Lance McCullers Jr. for assignment on Sunday morning, less than two weeks after they acquired the right-hander from the Houston Astros.
The move comes one day after McCullers allowed three runs on one hit and four walks in 1 2/3 innings in Milwaukee’s 8-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
McCullers has posted a 3.86 ERA in two relief appearances since he, left-hander Colton Gordon and cash were sent to the Brewers in exchange for minor league outfielder Jadyn Fielder on July 15.
A two-time World Series winner and former American League All-Star, McCullers has pitched only 44 innings this season, posting a 2-3 record with a 6.55 ERA in 10 appearances (eight starts).
McCullers, 32, is 53-40 with a 3.85 ERA in 156 career games (148 starts) with the Astros and Brewers. He was an All-Star in 2017 and won World Series titles in 2017 and 2022, but he missed three entire seasons (2019, 2023-24) due to injuries.
Also on Sunday, the Brewers recalled right-hander Garrett Stallings from Triple-A Nashville.
Stallings posted a 3-3 record with a 4.11 ERA in 18 appearances (13 starts) with the Sounds. He also pitched three scoreless innings in two appearances earlier this season with Milwaukee.

WTA roundup: Tamara Korpatsch wins Hamburg, first German champ in 34 years
Jun 29, 2026; London, United Kingdom; Coco Gauff of the United States at the net with Tamara Korpatsch of Germany after their match on day one at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Mandatory Credit: Susan Mullane-Imagn Images Tamara Korpatsch broke the German curse at the MSC Hamburg Ladies Open by claiming the title in a 6-3, 6-3 win over Hungary’s Anna Bondar on Sunday in Germany.
Korpatsch, born in Hamburg, is the first German since Steffi Graf in 1992 to win the Hamburg Open. Since Graf’s last title, Germans were 0-4 in the final at Hamburg. Korpatsch claimed her second career singles title in one hour and 28 minutes to improve to 5-0 in her career against Bondar.
Korpatsch came out hot in the first set with two aces and won 18 of her 25 first serve points (72%). She won 10 of the first 15 points to jump ahead to a 3-0 lead and wrapped it up by getting a break back to all but clinch the set.
Korpatsch continued to push in the second set and broke Bondar two more times, including to clinch the match.
Prague Open
Austria’s Lilli Tagger won her first ever WTA singles title with a 7-6 (3), 6-2 victory over Daria Snigur of the Ukraine.
Tagger came out firing with nine aces, including five in the first set. She found herself down 5-2 in the first set, but won five of the next six games to steal the set. She was able to get a break off Snigur when she was serving for the match.
Tagger won five of the final six games to clinch the title, breaking Snigur two separate times while never facing a break point herself. Four more aces along with converting 10 of 12 first serve points (82 %) was enough to ice the match.
